Yes, sleep apnoea is treatable. A sleep study result of 18 (AHI) indicates moderate obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). OSA can contribute to ECG changes (including T-wave inversion), fatigue, blood pressure issues, and metabolic problems. With proper treatment, symptoms and cardiac risk can significantly improve. Your fasting sugar of 110 mg/dL suggests prediabetes, which can also improve with treatment and lifestyle changes.
Next Steps
1. Consult a sleep medicine specialist/pulmonologist.
2. Start CPAP therapy (gold standard for moderate OSA) or consider oral mandibular advancement device if CPAP is not tolerated.
3. Weight reduction (even 5–10% helps).
4. Review ECG with a cardiologist after OSA treatment.
5. Monitor fasting sugar/HbA1c and adopt diet & exercise measures.
Health Tips
• Avoid alcohol and sedatives at night.
• Sleep on your side; maintain good sleep hygiene.
• Untreated OSA increases risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and hypertension—do not delay treatment.
• Regular follow-up is important to assess response to therapy.
