What are the risks if I choose not to have my obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treated?
Because of the serious disturbances in their normal sleep patterns, people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) often feel very sleepy during the day and their concentration and daytime performance suffer. The consequences of untreated sleep apnea range from annoying to life-threatening; symptoms include depression, irritability, sexual dysfunction, learning and memory difficulties, and falling asleep while at work, on the phone, or driving.
