Sleep Apnea in Women: Why Is It So Misdiagnosed?

How common is it?

It is worth noting that sleep apnea may sound like a distant problem for many but it is actually one of the most common issues affecting American population. Truth is that it does not only affect people who have it, but also their relatives, roommates or anyone close to the person who suffers from this condition. For instance, while being in a car with someone who suffers from sleep apnea, the chances of being involved in a car accident increase dramatically, being 6 times more likely to be involved in a car accident than when someone without sleep apnea is driving.
