SUBANG JAYA: Around 47 per cent of over 1,000 Malaysians who were surveyed in a study were reported to be habitual snorers.
Though most of the cases were not linked to obstructive sleep apnea , Respiratory and Sleep Medicine Specialist at Sunway Medical Centre, Sunway City, Dr Megat Razeem Abdul Razak, stressed the importance of intervention to prevent long-term complications associated with the disease.
“These pauses occur when the tongue and throat muscles fall back, obstructing the airway due to gravity. Dr Megat Razeem explained that OSA, characterised by breathing interruptions during sleep, can significantly impact overall health if left untreated. “The lack of oxygen during sleep stresses the heart and brain, increasing the risk of these conditions,” he said.
“Although it is effective, CPAP therapy can be costly, requiring evidence from sleep studies conducted in labs or at home to justify its use.
