Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Age >= 18 years old, gender not restricted; 2. Diagnosed with OSA by overnight polysomnography (PSG): Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) >= 5 times per hour; 3. Confirmed as having normal blood pressure by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM): 24-hour average systolic blood pressure = 10% lower than the average daytime blood pressure; 5. Has anatomical upper airway obstruction as assessed by otolaryngology and meets the indications for UPPP surgery; 6. Voluntarily participates in the study and signs a written informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Previous or current use of any antihypertensive medication; 2. Prior or current treatment with CPAP or other OSA-related therapies; 3.

Participants deemed by the investigator to have social or geographic factors that may affect follow-up compliance.
