Breathless: A Medical Mystery of the Hidden Epidemic - Hardcover

Olga loves her family deeply. When she notices her husband's decline and her daughter's unexplained symptoms, she begins to suspect that they are ensnared in a generational cycle. What she uncovers is a hidden web of causes, intricately woven from threads of sleep, genetics, and modern life.

Dr. Maria Sokolina's story unfolds alongside Olga's. An immigrant dentist, she believes she is helping people. She creates beautiful smiles, relieves pain, and restores confidence. But years of observation reveal a deeper truth. Her patients' broken teeth, jaw pain, and exhaustion are signs of a far more dangerous struggle.

Many were fighting to breathe at night, and that silent battle was reshaping their health, relationships, and lives. Dr. Sokolina confronts a moral dilemma. Is fixing teeth enough when she witnesses the real threat, patient after patient, and remains silent?

Breathless is a medical mystery and an intimate family drama that uncovers the silent epidemic of sleep disordered breathing and the tragic cost of ignoring it. This is a story about love under pressure, bodies fighting for air, and the courage it takes to break a cycle before it becomes destiny.
