But left untreated, sleep apnea can raise a person’s risk for significant health risks, according to the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Those risks include:
- High blood pressure,heart attack,stroke,obesity anddiabetes.
- Heart failure.
- Heartarrhythmia, the medical term for irregular heartbeat.
