gear and sleep apnea

[justwannagetsum]

Found this article, thought it was interesting:

Sleep apnea may be worsened in men on testosterone therapy (Clin Endocrinol (Oxf) 22:713, 1985). This may be due to changes in tissue surrounding the posterior pharynx. Therefore, if there is a clinical history of sleep apnea in a man considered for T therapy, this should be investigated and treated prior to institution of therapy.
