ABOUT THIS SESSION

Obesity and sleep are closely interconnected, and conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) often remain undiagnosed despite significantly affecting daily functioning and long-term health. This episode of ObesiTalks patient education webinar aims to create awareness, helping patients and caregivers recognize early warning signs and understand when medical attention is needed. Drawing on expert insights from Dr. R.M. Chhabra and Prof. Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the session will explain how excess weight affects breathing during sleep, the health risks associated with untreated OSA, and the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment. The discussion will also highlight practical lifestyle measures and weight management strategies to improve sleep quality and overall well-being, empowering participants to take informed, proactive steps toward better health.
