www.thoracic.org C LI P A N D C O P Y OSA patients wake up often throughout the night (although they may not remember doing so) and thus can be very tired during the daytime. In addition, each stoppage in breathing can lead to falls in oxygen level and a stress release of adrenaline, both of which can contribute to high blood pressure and put a strain on the heart. Left untreated, this situation can lead to serious health risk. Studies show that treatment of sleep apnea can make people feel better and reduce the risk of serious medical complications.

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) can improve sleep quality, reduce daytime fatigue, and reduce the risk of serious medical complications.
