Did Dr Oz and Dr Breus miss the diagnosis of sleep apnea in a woman with insomnia on national television?
Yes, I suspect they did. I believe that that the woman has OSA and the diagnosis was missed. She should have a repeat study in another sleep lab and be given a sedative hypnotic to make certain that she sleeps. It is almost certain that this second study will reveal OSA requiring a PAP machine for effective treatment. The show was so bad that I am speechless (and typeless too).

I tell me pts that everyone could benefit from CPAP therapy. I have yet to perform a study on anyone that did not have at least one event. Most have an AHI of 1 or 2.

makes sense. probably lines up with the uptick in obesity facing kids born these days. i heard some statistic that about 25% of all kids born after the year 2000 will develop Type 2 diabetes. And that rate goes up to 50% of all African-American kids born after the year 2000. Mortifying, but apparently true.
Mack D Jones, MD, SAAN said:I vaguely recall a recent study in which a number of ~12 to ~19 year olds had headache, mostly migraine, and they all had OSA. It got my attention, because of my own experience. I think all youngsters with headache should be examined for OSA and when positive, treated with PAP.
