Up to two-year wait for sleep apnoea treatment People with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are having to wait up to two years for appropriate treatment.
About two million people in the UK have moderate or severe symptoms related to OSA, which makes patients temporarily stop breathing while asleep.
This can happen hundreds of times a night, leaving them exhausted, with poor memory and concentration and a significantly higher risk of accidents.
A recent spike in diagnosis has been linked to rising levels of obesity. BBC News
