Reply to comment by JacenGraff in Research found among nearly 100 teens who underwent brain scans, those with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) tended to have thinner tissue at the brain's surface, and some signs of inflammation in a brain area key to memory and learning. by Wagamaga

You’re correct. Less than 1% of the general population have severe central sleep apnea (yay to been part of the exclusive club). But my specialist said that it might be worth trying to lose weight to bring other health benefits to my life.

I was low-key praying that I was misdiagnosed with central and I had obstructive instead, but nope.

That's fair, and I'm sorry to hear that you're going through that. I hope treatment goes well for you!

There's some implants that I'm hoping will work for central apnea one day
