Is there a connection between sleep apnea and weight loss?

Yes: Yes there is a connection between sleep apnea and weight loss. Weight loss improves the symptoms and sometimes cures sleep apnea, they are inversely related to each other.

Yes: Poor sleep leads to a whole series of hormonal events that cause weight gain and difficulty losing weight. Is your sleep apnea treated? Has CPAP been checked to make sure the pressure setting is correct?
