Obesity is considered a chronic disease. One of its possible consequences &#8211; sleep apnoea &#8211; can sometimes not be eliminated by strict diet and more exercise alone. Instead, so-called weight loss injections can also help.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-e054fa2d\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column\"><style>.kb-image1968_f21185-6a .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;border-top-left-radius:10px;border-top-right-radius:10px;border-bottom-right-radius:10px;border-bottom-left-radius:10px;}.kb-image1968_f21185-6a img.kb-img, .kb-image1968_f21185-6a .kb-img img{border-top-left-radius:10px;border-top-right-radius:10px;border-bottom-right-radius:10px;border-bottom-left-radius:10px;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image1968_f21185-6a size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/lungenpraxis-hohenzollerndamm.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/016-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-1878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lungenpraxis-hohenzollerndamm.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/016-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lungenpraxis-hohenzollerndamm.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/016-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lungenpraxis-hohenzollerndamm.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/016-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lungenpraxis-hohenzollerndamm.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/016-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lungenpraxis-hohenzollerndamm.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/016-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lungenpraxis-hohenzollerndamm.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/016-360x240.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-546fa8db\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns alignfull has-2-columns has-desktop-equal-layout has-tablet-equal-layout has-mobile-collapsedRows-layout has-vertical-flex-start has-light-bg\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"innerblocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-a03592cc\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a15bc6f53335419b6c9f8846db8f96e5\">The initial situation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d529cccc3d8c4395c7c34890c9d6e48a\" style=\"color:#2e3433\">People who are very overweight are still stigmatized. Those affected are often told that all they have to do is pull themselves together when eating and get enough exercise. Today, doctors take a more differentiated view of the problem: morbid obesity has a number of causes, and these often cannot be eliminated solely through a disciplined, healthy lifestyle.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-962172ec5afb1060575b5696370db59c\">Medication instead of surgery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d2f6b34fd12eede701248f33b477c265\" style=\"color:#2e3433\">In severe cases, the only option used to be to see a surgeon, for example for a stomach reduction. It is now advisable to consider a less serious procedure: the injection of tirzepatide. Scientific studies on this drug are still ongoing.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4670c515a3bf975d1af3cb97510d6863\" style=\"color:#2e3433\">Among doctors, however, the slimming injection is already regarded as a breakthrough in the treatment of severe obesity. Tirzepatide improves sugar levels and blood lipids. Kidneys can stabilize. The risk of strokes and heart attacks decreases.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-5b750788\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3f2d57df893584114d7ef180b976e302\">Importance for lung health<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is all this so relevant for a lung practice? Obesity is the most significant risk factor for dangerous breathing stops at night. Any relevant weight loss can therefore help to get sleep apnea under control.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6818e91be0b9865e2bc772558ae48904\">Is the medication suitable for you?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It would be dubious to promise you an immediate solution to your problems with tirzepatide. Instead, we will discuss your chances with you and discuss which additional measures are necessary. We will also analyze your blood values before starting therapy, rule out contraindications and provide comprehensive advice on non-drug weight loss measures.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-479d0e91d8e3fd41f3ff48fee7ca0faa\">You must bear the costs yourself<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-184a90794a71d1a18230682a14da2c42\" style=\"color:#2e3433\">Statutory health insurance companies have so far refused to pay for tirzepatide for weight loss. The costs you will incur when using the injection depend, among other things, on the pharmacy price. Please feel free to contact us. We will advise you transparently and individually.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1881,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2674","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
