obstructive sleep apnea has a negative impact on blood pressure of patients, sleeping quality, and respiration
in this study, patients (n=40) with obstructive sleep apnea will participate in this study to be divided in to group I and group II with an equal number of patients (n = 20 for the group). Group I will administer six cycles of 5-min shitali respiratory pranayama exercise rehabilitation training (the rehabilitation will be repeated or applied at morning, afternoon, and also at evening) for 12 week as a daily performance, the other group, Group II, will act as control group.
