Don't Ignore Loud Snoring – It Could Be Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA)
不要忽视打鼾——它可能是阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停症（OSA）的警讯

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is a common but often undiagnosed sleep disorder in which the airway repeatedly collapses during sleep, causing breathing interruptions and reduced oxygen levels.
阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停症（Obstructive Sleep Apnoea，OSA） 是一种常见但经常未被诊断的睡眠疾病。患者在睡眠过程中，上呼吸道会反复塌陷，导致呼吸暂停或呼吸变浅，使血氧下降及睡眠反复中断。

Many people believe snoring is harmless, but persistent loud snoring—especially when associated with daytime tiredness—may indicate OSA, a condition linked to serious cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.
许多人认为打鼾只是睡得沉的表现，但持续且响亮的打鼾，尤其伴随白天嗜睡、疲倦或睡眠质量差，可能就是 OSA 的重要警讯。若长期未接受治疗，OSA 将增加多种严重疾病及猝死的风险。

我们提供专业的居家睡眠呼吸暂停检测（HSAT，Home Sleep Apnoea Test），让您无需住院，即可在家中轻松完成睡眠检查，帮助及早发现并治疗 OSA。
