Summary
This study tests whether a time-efficient breathing exercise program can help lower blood pressure in adults aged 50 and older who have moderate to severe sleep apnea but cannot or will not use a CPAP machine. Researchers will measure blood pressure changes over 36 weeks in 122 participants. The goal is to find a simpler, drug-free way to improve heart health in this group.
