About the Case Presentation
A clinician’s approach to sleep apnea begins with a thorough assessment of the patient’s medical history, symptoms (such as snoring, choking, and daytime fatigue), and risk factors like obesity or hypertension. Diagnosis is typically confirmed through polysomnography or home sleep apnea testing, followed by treatment strategies such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), lifestyle modifications, or surgical interventions depending on the severity and type of sleep apnea.
