Apollo Hospitals Highlights Undiagnosed Sleep Apnoea Cases in Mumbai Region
Apollo Hospitals Navi Mumbai highlights a growing sleep disorder crisis in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, estimating 45-50 lakh people may suffer from sleep-disordered breathing, with 80-90% undiagnosed. Experts warn that symptoms like loud snoring and daytime fatigue are often overlooked, especially among working professionals facing stress and irregular sleep. Untreated Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) can increase risks of hypertension, heart attack, stroke, and diabetes, prompting the launch of a dedicated Sleep Disorders Clinic to raise awareness and encourage early diagnosis.
