Sleep apnea is a "powder keg" - from a health perspective

Sleep apnoea is dangerous for your health - and time is of the essence. This is because untreated sleep apnea leads to a whole range of sometimes serious secondary diseases over time. As always, prevention is better than cure - which is why it is important that people with sleep apnoea start treatment as early as possible.

Four secondary diseases threaten with untreated Sleep apnea:

1. high blood pressure (hypertension).
2. Increased risk of Heart attacks. 
3. Increased risk of developing a Stroke to suffer.
4. Daytime sleepiness and the risk of a dangerous microsleeps. Both increase the Accident risk when driving and at work. 

Important to know: The risk of suffering one of the secondary diseases can only be reduced if the sleep apnea is treated. 

However, sleep apnea must first be recognized, which unfortunately is not the case for many sufferers - most are unaware of their existing risk.
