OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) is a deadly disorder. It takes only ONE obstruction per hour (much less 5, 30, 60, or over a 100 per hour as seen so often) night after night, over many years, to finally catch up with you.
The first symptom (what you feel) might be insomnia, fatigue (sometimes profound...like in my case), drowsiness (not me....instead I was "hypervigilant", wide awake, unable to sleep even during the day), irritable, hostile, forgetful, down, depressed...the list goes on.
The first sign (what your doctor sees through examination) as high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, stroke, heart attack, sudden cardiac death....the list is too long to include in this short note.
That's why it should be treated as a very serious, life threatening disorder and stopped now, not next week or next 2-3 months from now, but as soon as humanly possible. It's an urgent problem if not, in some cases, a down right emergency.
