Does sleep apnea get worse if not treated with cpab mask?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes indeed: Untreated sleep apnea markedly raises the risk of heart failure, lung failure, and early death. Hang in there with cpap and any other treatment(s) recommended by your doctor. Good luck.

Yes, Sleep Apnea will get worse because your brain, heart, lungs & vital systems are not getting enough oxygen to function. If you are intolerant of CPAP talk to your Dr. to see if you are a candidate for Oral Appliance Therapy an intra-oral dental device that brings your jaw forward to open up your airway made by a dentist, surgery is also available. Take care!
