Common causes include obesity, neuromuscular disorders, and certain medications that depress respiratory function. Identifying the underlying cause is crucial for effective management.

Diagnosis typically involves a sleep study (polysomnography) to assess breathing patterns during sleep, along with clinical evaluation of symptoms and medical history.

Treatment options include CPAP therapy, lifestyle modifications such as weight loss, and addressing any underlying medical conditions contributing to hypoventilation.

Hospitalization may be required for severe cases, particularly if the patient exhibits significant respiratory distress or requires close monitoring and intervention.
