"Sleep Apnea - The Unknown Danger Everyone Should Fear"

The April 13, 2015 meeting with Professor Adrian Aron was an examination of Sleep Apnea and the impact it has on COPD and a variety of other lung and health problems.

Professor Aron described how sleep apnea is often not recognized immediately but can sometimes be found through symptoms like:
Daytime fatigue or drowsiness
Decrease in intellect
Behavioral and personality changes
Memory loss
Left untreated, sleep apnea can result in a myriad of health issues, such as:
