One wants to look at causes again, and what it's associated with. Certainly, the allergies, for example, are very common in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Infections of the throat, tonsils, etc., pneumonia may occur in some patients. So withdrawing medicines and changing habits. It's also true that diet, in terms of controlling weight and improving circulation, helps.
Obesity has a high association with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
So while we want to use medications while needed, we also want to look at lifestyle, allergies, dust, etc., which may be aggravating symptoms. Smoking, of course, is certainly a big factor in many patients. We are almost out of time. Again, I think that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome has gained recognition as a cause of mortality in the population, and doctors are increasing awareness such as poor academic performance in children, risk of auto accidents, heart attacks and strokes. So these patients can endanger not only themselves, but others also.
