Objective:
To enhance the understanding of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and lower its misdiagnosis.
Methods:

Results:
OSAHS can be misdiagnosed as primary hypertension, arrhythmia, asthma, acalcerosis and some other diseases. The main causes of misdiagnosis were: the main complaints and the main signs could be one or more of a series of symptoms or signs of OSAHS itself or its complications and the lack of systemic knowledge of OSAHS.
Conclusions:
The understanding of OSAHS could be enhanced by analyzing misdiagnosis cases.
