Sleep Apnea Will Kill if Not Properly Treated

The fact is, sleep apnea can KILL YOU eventually. And I'm not just talking about the much higher chance that you'll be in a car crash if you have apnea (although that's definitely a factor). As stated by Dr. Michael J. Twery, director of the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research: "Sleep apnea is not a condition that kills you acutely. It is a condition that erodes your health over time."

Over time, sleep apnea has been proven to lead to a long list of nasty diseases. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, these are just some of the side effects of sleep apnea:

• High blood pressure
• Eye disorders, including glaucoma, conjunctivitis, and dry eye
• Irregular menstrual periods
• High-risk pregnancies
• Liver damage
• Seizures, epilepsy, and other nerve disorders
• Diabetes
• Kidney failure
• Stroke
• Heart failure
