Is it asthma or something else? sleep apnea study rethinks wheezing
NCT ID NCT04142905
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at the medical records of one person from a sleep clinic to see if their breathing problems were due to a condition called dysanapsis (where airways are smaller than normal) rather than true asthma. The goal was to better understand why some people with sleep apnea also have wheezing. Because it only reviewed one patient's records, the findings are very limited.
