A 45-year-old male presents with excessive daytime sleepiness and headaches in the morning. He also reports experiencing restless legs during sleep. His wife reports loud snoring. What might be the issue and what are the next steps?
These symptoms suggest the possibility of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The symptom of restless legs may also indicate the presence of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), which can coexist with OSA. The recommended next steps would be a formal sleep study to confirm the diagnosis of OSA and potentially assess for RLS. Treatment of OSA usually includes lifestyle changes and CPAP therapy, while RLS might be managed with medications.
