Chasing Life on CNN 5 Things

I'm Dr. Sanjay Gupta, host of the Chasing Life podcast. Many times snoring may just be harmless, may not mean anything, but sometimes it can be an indication that there's a more serious health condition underlying all that, something known as sleep apnea. So this is a significant problem. It's been a growing problem in the United States for a long time. There's all sorts of strategies to try and deal with sleep apnea. I want to talk about it with Dr. Paul Hoff. He is an ENT doctor, ears, nose, and throat doctor, who focuses on sleep. What percentage of that 80 million know that they have sleep apnea? About 20%. So 80% of people are undiagnosed. So it's a huge population that's undiagnosed. 80%, that's a gigantic number. Yeah. Listen to Chasing Life, streaming now, wherever you get your podcasts.
