Sleep apnea is a medical condition that affects more than 18 million people in the United States. Research suggests that many sleep apnea patients are undiagnosed, even though this condition can lead to serious health risks such as chronic fatigue, drowsiness, high blood pressure, and increased risk of stroke. Long-term sleep apnea can lead to diabetes, heart diseases, Alzheimer’s Disease, and even death.
