Ignoring sleep apnea can affect your health and well-being.
Risks include:
- High blood pressure: Repeated oxygen drops during sleep increase adrenaline, leading to hypertension.
- Stroke and heart disease: Poor oxygen levels strain your cardiovascular system.
- Mood and cognitive health: Fatigue and untreated apnea are linked to depression, impaired memory, and Alzheimer’s risk.
Treating sleep apnea improves both your nightly rest and long-term health.
