Will losing weight cure my snoring? The answer may surprise you

In this video I will explore the controversial topic of sleep apnoea being related to obesity. Many sleep apnoea patients are told that the reason that they have sleep apnoea is because they gained weight, and the only way to deal with it is to lose that weight. I will talk you through some of the medical literature about weight and sleep apnoea. If you aren't sure about sleep apnoea, please look at my other videos in this channel.
