The basics
Common questions about Sleep apnea
Curious about Sleep apnea, take a look at common questions below.
What is sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops or becomes shallow during sleep. The most common type is obstructive sleep apnea, caused by the upper airway narrowing or closing.
Can sleep apnea kill you?
No, you cannot die from sleep apnea as an immediate event in the usual sense.
However, untreated sleep apnea can raise the risk of serious health problems over time, including high blood pressure, heart disease and accidents caused by daytime sleepiness. It should be assessed and treated.
Can sleep apnea be cured?
Some people can resolve or substantially improve sleep apnea when an underlying factor changes, while others need ongoing treatment. CPAP, oral appliances, lifestyle changes and specialist treatments can control symptoms effectively. A clinician can explain what is realistic for your type of sleep apnea.
Can you have sleep apnea without snoring?
Yes. Snoring is common but not required. Some people have sleep apnea without loud snoring, so gasping, witnessed breathing pauses, morning headaches or daytime sleepiness should not be ignored.
Can sleep apnea cause high blood pressure?
Yes. Repeated breathing pauses and oxygen changes can contribute to high blood pressure, and sleep apnea is associated with cardiovascular risk. If you have high blood pressure and sleep symptoms, ask your clinician whether an assessment is appropriate.
