Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a condition in which a person stops breathing for short periods during the night. A person who has sleep apnea may suffer from daytime sleepiness, difficulty concentrating and even heart failure.
The risk for sleep apnea is higher for overweight people. An overweight person may have more fat stored around his or her neck. This may make the airway smaller. A smaller airway can make breathing difficult, loud, cause snoring or stop altogether. In addition, fat stored in the neck and throughout the body may produce substances that cause inflammation. Inflammation in the neck is a risk factor for sleep apnea.
Weight loss usually improves sleep apnea. Weight loss may help to decrease neck size and lessen inflammation.
