Sleep Apnea & Related Health Conditions
Untreated Sleep Apnea can affect sleep quality, daytime alertness and overall well-being. It has also been associated with several long-term health conditions.
Sleep Apnea has been associated with:
- High Blood Pressure
- Heart Disease
- Stroke
- Atrial Fibrillation
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Heart Failure
- Pulmonary Hypertension
- Chronic Kidney Disease
- Metabolic Syndrome
Repeated breathing interruptions and drops in oxygen during sleep may place additional stress on the body.
Important: Sleep Apnea is associated with these conditions, but it is not necessarily the sole cause of each condition. Individual risk and treatment should be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional.
