Misty Brady+FollowIs This the End of CPAP Machines?Sleep apnea affects 80 million Americans, and the only real fix has been those dreaded CPAP machines—until now. A new pill (yes, a pill!) could be hitting the market as soon as next year, thanks to a wild breakthrough from a Harvard lab. If it gets FDA approval, millions might finally ditch the mask and get real sleep. Imagine just taking a nightly pill instead of wrestling with a machine! Game changer for anyone who snores (or sleeps next to one). #Health #BodyHealth #SleepApnea236Share

shermandarlene+FollowSleep Apnea’s Sneaky Brain RiskWild new study alert: moderate to severe sleep apnea doesn’t just wreck your sleep—it could double your risk of tiny brain bleeds (aka cerebral microbleeds).

Over 935 million adults have sleep apnea, so if you snore or wake up gasping, maybe it’s time to get checked. Protect your brain, not just your sleep! #Health #BodyHealth #SleepApnea60Share
