Q: I heard sleep apnea can cause Alzheimers, is that really true? (Stanley Y. ) A: Hello Stanley! The world congress on alzheimers a few years back came away with the scary news that the correlation between alzheimers and untreated sleep apnea was undeniable and significant. --------------------------------------------------------------
Q: If I increase the strength of my jaw will that help prevent OSA? (Jacob S.)
A: Hi Jacob! So the answer is no, increasing the strength of the jaw won’t impact much, however improving the strength of your tongue will. Tongue exercises or playing a musical instrument that involves significant use of the tongue can significantly improve snoring and sleep apnea. One example is the didgeridoo.
