GLP-1 for Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Game-Changer?

Jan 13 • 1 minute read

You’ve probably heard of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic or Wegovy for weight loss. But did you know they might help with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) too?

 GLP-1 medications work by helping you lose weight, and weight loss can significantly reduce the severity of sleep apnea. Carrying extra weight around your neck can narrow your airway, making it harder to breathe at night.

The Research

Recent studies suggest that people using GLP-1 medications experienced not only weight loss but also improvements in their OSA symptoms. While more research is needed, it’s a promising option for those struggling with both obesity and sleep apnea.

What You Should Know

If you have OSA and are considering GLP-1 medications, talk to your doctor. These medications might not replace traditional treatments like CPAP but could be a helpful addition.
