A member asked:
Can you live a long and healthy life with sleep apnea?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It's possible, yes. But not very likely. Sleep apnea risks serious heart failure and early death, which can be prevented or delayed by proper treatment. Good luck.

Not simple. Untreated sleep apnea can lead to hypertension, strokes, and cardiovascular events. Obstructive sleep apnea seems more responsive to treatments than Central Sleep Apnea. Diligence and supervision by a physician appear the safest long-term course. Most patients with sleep disorders have complex co-morbidities. You will not have an uneventful journey. Best of luck.
