Sleep Apnea: Why CPAP Isn't Fixing the Real Problem (This Does!)

The host of The Doctor's Farmacy breaks down the often-missed signs of sleep apnea, including why sleeping eight hours can still leave you exhausted and how non-snoring symptoms can keep the condition undiagnosed. The episode explains how untreated apnea harms the heart, brain, and metabolism, and reveals that even thin, fit people can develop it due to airway anatomy. Finally, it explores treatment alternatives to CPAP.
