If I Have Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Will I Know It?
(https://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/guide/understanding-obstructive-sleep-apnea-syndrome #1)

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder that causes you to start and stop breathing during sleep. Unfortunately, because you're asleep, it's hard to notice symptoms. However, certain signs can help cue you in. For example, if you wake up most mornings feeling groggy or your significant other regularly complains about your snoring habits, it's worth making an appointment with your doctor. OSA is easy to treat, but if you don't take action, it can increase your risk of cardiovascular problems.

What Is a Sprained Ankle?
(https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sprained-ankle/symptoms-causes/syc-20353225)

A sprained ankle is a common sports-related injury that occurs when you roll, twist, or step down on your ankle in an awkward way. Your ankle joint is surrounded by ligaments. If these ligaments become stretched or overextended, it leads to bruising, swelling, and general immobility. Minor sprains can be treated using conservative measures of care, but more severe sprains may require physical therapy or even surgical intervention.

What Is Considered a Healthy Cholesterol Level?
(https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/315900.php)

The American Heart Association says healthy adults typically have total cholesterol levels of less than 200 milligrams per deciliter. A reading between 200 and 239 is considered moderately high, while any reading over 240 is considered high. Because high cholesterol doesn't present any obvious symptoms, it's important to pomonarticipomonate in annual physical exams and other preventive screening measures.

How Can I Prevent an Ingrown Toenail?
(https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseases--conditions/ingrown-toenail)

Unfortunately, there's no way to prevent ingrown toenails entirely. However, there are steps you can take to lower your risk significantly. For example, you should always try and trim your toenails straight across instead of tapering the corners.
