Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this sleep apnea and the clogged artery. The root cause of this problem is your excess weight. You would need to work on this seriously with your dietitian to drop calories. Weight gain summarises the fact that the amount of calories you consume far exceed the amount the you spend daily in carrying out your duties. You need to cut back on this. I will suggest you consult a dietitian on this. Remember excess weight has been liked t many other diseases like hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, stroke, heart attack, etc. You need to tackle this before it becomes too much too handle. I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more clarification or information if need be. I wish you well. Dr. Ditah, MD.
