A member asked:
Can you have sleep apnea for years (12 years) without knowing?

You could, if your day activity did not require staying fully awake during the day.

Not an unusual situation, as almost all cases of sleep apnea have been present for months to years prior to confirmed diagnosis. An overnight sleep study can confirm and point the way to therapeutic control.
