Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) may be a risk factor for exacerbations of asthma, according to recent evidence. In patients with simultaneous OSAS, inflammation (local and systemic), neuromechanical reflex bronchoconstriction, gastric reflux, and the indirect effect of OSAS-induced cardiac dysfunction on dyspnea have all been proposed as processes that contribute to deteriorating asthma control. Leptin-related alterations in airways, vascular endothelial growth factor-induced airway angiogenesis, and OSAS-induced weight gain could potentially have a common mechanism underlying these two illnesses. Asthmatics are more likely than the general population to experience OSAS symptoms, according to multiple research. Nasal obstruction, a decrease in pharyngeal cross sectional area, and an increase in upper airway collapsibility are common asthmatic traits that exacerbate symptoms of OSAS. It is crucial to understand the nature of the connection between OSAS and asthma since it has significant treatment ramifications.
