Doctor:Try
to make everyone aware of Sleep apnea.
Doctor:Anyone
who has heavy neck, make them aware of snoring and the reason why many people
sleep while sitting?
Patient:Yes!
Doctor:That
means they suffer from oxygen deficiency in the nighttime.
Doctor:As
we hear many players die while sleeping in the night time, the reason is this
only.
Doctor:You
lost good amount of weight and your neck is perfect now. No fear of Sleep
apnea.
Patient:Yes!
Doctor:No
oxygen deficiency now.

surgery brain wasn't getting enough oxygen, which was like a punishment.

deficiency and carbon dioxide retention leads to the daytime sleepiness.

got rid from sleep apnea.
