DOES SLEEP APNEA NEED TO BE TREATED?

Many sleep apnea sufferers go years without seeking any treatment. Some sufferers experience mild symptoms such as daytime fatigue and think they just need to get to bed earlier. Others are simply unaware that they are struggling with sleep apnea at all.

However, sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that can lead to dangerous complications. Poor breathing and a lack of continuous sleep can have devastating repercussions for your body.

If you are experiencing any symptoms of sleep apnea, you should seek diagnosis and treatment immediately.

SLEEP APNEA SIDE EFFECTS AND HEALTH COMPLICATIONS

Your brain and body require sufficient oxygen and sleep to function properly. Many serious side effects and complications can occur if sleep apnea is ignored or left untreated, including:

  • Daytime fatigue
  • Memory problems
  • Weight gain
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • Heart disease
  • Stroke

Being at risk for these health issues lowers the moment you begin treatment and may even be eliminated altogether. Do not delay getting treatment even if you believe your symptoms are tolerable.

BENEFITS OF SLEEP APNEA TREATMENT

Sleep apnea is a terribly disruptive disorder, not only for the person who has it, but also for their bed partner.
