I would pursue strict plant based diet before bringing up more meds. Burton AbramsNo institutional affiliation17 September 2019 What about sleep apnea? There was no mention in this presentation about considering his symptoms as possible consequences of sleep apnea. His hypertension, dyslipidemia, and prediabetes all indicate that sleep apnea should be considered. If sleep apnea is present and the patient is prescribed and adheres to therapy to overcome it, his risk for developing further cardiovascular problems will be greatly reduced, and his hypertension may even be reversed.
