Listen: wake up to sleep apnoea: UK’s silent killer

Medical experts are urging adults in the UK to wake up to the silent killer sleep apnoea and get tested.

With twice as many people wrongly believing that diabetes is more prevalent in the UK than sleep apnoea, 1 in 3 adults are living undiagnosed of this fatal condition.

Sleep Apnoea is far more than just snoring – as a serious and potentially life-threatening condition, it affects nearly 8 million people in the UK.

Shockingly, 6.5 million remain undiagnosed, unaware of the dangers they face each night, as new research revealed by Nyxoah, shows that 33% of the UK do not know what sleep apnoea is.
