The consequences of sleep apnea range from both annoying to life threatening. Symptoms range from depression, irritability, sexual dysfunction, increased weight gain to learning and memory difficulties.  You may find yourself falling asleep at work, on the phone or even while driving.  In fact, untreated sleep apnea patients are 3 times more likely to have automobile accidents.

OSA has also been strongly associated with several cardiovascular disorders such as high blood pressure, cardiac dysrhythmias, strokes and congestive heart failure.
