The social consequences are now being taken seriously: divorce, separate bedrooms, bed partners who end up sleep deprived!!!

Snoring is the health warning indicator. Tiredness is the well known side effect — those spillover effects are now being understood. The research and proof is there — the treatment can now match.

This is a very new area of sleep medicine and rather than duplicate, please refer to internet:
— GERD and SDB: In one paper published over 80% of the GERD patients in the trial had OSA
— Obesity and SDB: The evidence of treating SDB snoring etc allows the patient to have a wellness allowing exercise in a resulting positive manner.
— Obesity , diabetes and SDB: An increasing research area.
— Blood pressure and SDB: The evidence has been published re treating the snoring and OSA can result in a lowered blood pressure
— Nasal edema, nocturnal asthma, COPD and OSA: The papers now suggest the SDB could be the denominator in many cases ie the proven increase in hypertension from SDB, perhaps treating heartburn reflux by treating the SDB.
— Nocturnal urine visits: A paper now published proves that visits reduced or stopped as SDB treatment allows the bladder to rest.
