Is Sleep Apnea Dangerous?

In this video, Dr. Vahid Bashi discusses how untreated sleep apnea affects health, increasing the likelihood of serious issues.

Sleep apnea can indeed be a potentially serious and dangerous condition because it disrupts the normal breathing process during sleep, leading to decreased blood oxygen levels. This oxygen deprivation can have a wide range of adverse effects on various parts of the body, including the heart and brain. Adequate oxygen is crucial for the proper functioning of all bodily systems, so when it is compromised, it can lead to various health issues.

Over time, untreated sleep apnea can contribute to the development of conditions such as high blood pressure, heart problems, and an increased risk of stroke. Additionally, it can have a significant impact on overall well-being, causing daytime fatigue and impairing cognitive and emotional functioning.

If you suspect you have sleep apnea or have been diagnosed with it, seeking evaluation and treatment is essential. A consultation with a healthcare professional can help identify the severity of the condition and determine the most appropriate course of action to manage and improve your sleep apnea, thereby safeguarding your long-term health and well-being.
