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

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.

An exceptional example of what a clinic should be! The Dr was on time, took time to go over everything and explained what course of action was necessary. Let me ask all the questions I needed and did not hurry me.

The front office staff was friendly and very efficient and made you feel comfortable.

I know I chose the right place to go to!

I had a great experience at Dr. Chugs office. Dr. Chug is very professional, and has great bedside manners. He explains everything very thoroughly. His staff is also very professional and very nice. I felt very comfortable, they aim to help their patients. Thank you Dr. Chug and his staff.

Dr. Chug cares a great deal for his patients.
I have come a long way. I did not need more inhalers or medication. He recommended I go to a center that would teach me how to exercise, sit, bend over and breathe properly. I can now walk over 2 miles daily, clean my home, and run errands Yes, I still have COPD, emphysema, and lung cancer but I am more confident in my abilities. My name is Sally Stuebben and I have been a patient for almost 2 years.

Dr. Chug was one of the attending physicians for my 91 yr old father when he was in the hospital with blood clots on his lungs. His care and bedside manner was wonderful bringing my Dad home. He is now my Dad's pulmonologist for any follow-up care he may require moving forward.
