Is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OAS) dangerous?
Absolutely! In rare cases, apnea can be fatal. It has been linked to high blood pressure and to increased chances of heart disease, stroke, and irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias). The continual lack of quality sleep can affect your life in many ways including depression, irritability, loss of memory, lack of energy, a high risk of auto and workplace accidents, and many other problems.
