How Serious is Sleep Apnea?

Ever wondered how something as common as snoring could be a sign of a serious health concern? Contrary to what many people think, snoring—even when someone’s makes it so hard for you to sleep—is not merely a harmless annoyance. In some cases, it indicates sleep apnea—a condition that often gets brushed off but can have severe health implications if left untreated. It can get as serious to the point that you’ll need a pacemaker, as the risk of sudden death is through the roof each time you go for some sleep. However, unfortunately, many people still don’t recognize the gravity sleep apnea brings with it. That’s why in this episode, we’ll discuss sleep apnea, some symptoms to watch for, and the profound impact it can have both on your life and health. I’ll share personal experiences and a patient’s story to highlight the importance of diagnosis and treatment. We’ll also talk about the types of sleep apnea and possible treatment options, such as the one I’m using—the CPAP machine.
