Summary

This study explores whether brief, mild changes in oxygen levels (called mild intermittent hypoxia) can improve blood vessel function and reduce tiredness in people with obstructive sleep apnea. The treatment aims to help those who struggle with standard CPAP therapy. Researchers will measure blood pressure and muscle oxygen use in 60 adults aged 30-60 with newly diagnosed sleep apnea.
