CP3 Sleep Apnea Chronic Disease

Waking unrefreshed despite adequate sleep. Spouse reports snoring or choking episodes. This is obstructive sleep apnea, and it's likely driving your "treatment-resistant" cases. Each apneic event triggers a stress response — cortisol and aldosterone surge the next morning and persist through midday. The inflammatory cascade that follows correlates with cognitive decline, depression, anxiety, uncontrolled hypertension, stubborn insulin resistance, and weight loss resistance. Ask every patient: do you feel rested when you wake. If no, order a home sleep test. Correction changes everything. Start your 7-day free trial at clinicalfunctionalmedicine.com #short
