Obese people tend to have raised levels of the hormone The chronically low oxygen levels in the blood also lead to increased release of If OHS is suspected, various tests are required for its confirmation.

Background: The purpose of this guideline is to optimize evaluation and management of patients with obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS).Methods: A multidisciplinary panel identified and prioritized five clinical questions. UpToDate Aug 6, 2019. Am J Respir Crit Care Med. Obesity hypoventilation syndrome is defined as the combination of Most people with obesity hypoventilation syndrome have concurrent The low oxygen level leads to physiologic constriction of the pulmonary arteries to correct ventilation-perfusion mismatching, which puts excessive strain on the right side of the heart. Curr Pulmonol Rep. 2015 Mar 1;4(1):42-55 full-text; Borel JC, Borel AL, Monneret D, Tamisier R, Levy P, Pepin JL. The classic features of obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) are obesity and daytime hypercapnia. It is likely that it is the result of an interplay of various processes. [2,3] Patients with OHS have a poor quality of life, more healthcare expenses, a greater risk of pulmonary hypertension and a higher mortality rate.
