Physician Assistant and prior C&P examiner Leah Bucholz discusses the relationship between OSA and Rhinitis\xa0 and VA disability compensation\xa0
Leah explores the relationship between sleep apnea and allergic rhinitis, particularly in the context of VA disability claims. She discusses various aspects of sleep apnea, including its types (obstructive, central, mixed), and the nuances of its connection to military service, whether as a primary condition or secondary to other medical issues. Leah highlights the overlap between allergic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, and deviated septum, and their potential role in precipitating obstructive sleep apnea in veterans. She references several studies from journals like the Journal of the American Medical Association and Scientific Reports to illustrate the correlation between nasal conditions and sleep apnea.
