Abstract


This case report represents a comprehensive overview of the assessment, diagnosis, and subsequent management of a 60 year old patient who sought medical attention due to debilitating fatigue. Despite displaying atypical symptoms and an absence of characteristic signs, polysomnography revealed significant degree of obstructive sleep apnea. This case highlights the importance of considering sleep-related disorders in the differential diagnosis of fatigue and the remarkable efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in improving the patient’s quality of life.

Keywords: obstructive sleep apnea, fatigue, continuous positive airway pressure, case report
