Although non-invasive ventilation Improves sleep-disordered breathing and gas exchange, its efficacy is limited by subjective patient tolerance and persistence of daytime hypercapnoea in a subset of patients. This case report describes the author's experience in diagnosis and management of a such a case of OHS with Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) In resource limited settings and also emphasizes the importance of early detection and management In patients of OHS, considering the substantial morbidity associated with this disorder.
