What if the most common symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea in women aren’t the ones doctors are trained to recognize? In this episode, Dr. Megan Durr, an otolaryngologist from the University of California San Francisco, discusses obstructive sleep apnea in women with host Dr. Gopi Shah.

The doctors explore how symptoms in women differ from men, leading to missed diagnoses. They delve into the lack of literature on the topic and the potential for underrepresented groups to be overlooked. The conversation highlights the need for more inclusive screening tools and the long-term cardiovascular risks women face due to untreated sleep apnea. Dr. Durr emphasizes the importance of better diagnosing and treating sleep apnea in women.
