“folks of all ages and health conditions die suddenly for no apparent reason from sleep apnea”
I’m sure you can find some examples of healthy young people dying of sleep apnea, but the fact is that it is a disease that predominantly affects older and obese people, not young healthy 20 year olds.
a large number of kids have sleep apnea- many due to tonsillitis obstructing airways- there are almost 1/4 million tonsillectomies done every year- with many of those cases having caused sleep apnea- it is also estimated that many cases go undiagnosed- (it’s not easy to know if you have sleep apnea or not- people go for years without knowing it- )
OSA isn’t a disease......
