Posted by Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg, DDS

Sleep apnea can significantly affect your overall health in a negative way. It can also affect your mood. Patients who suffer from sleep apnea and are not being treated do not get quality sleep at night. Your body needs adequate sleep to function properly every day. If you have a young child or baby in your life, you know that the day after a poor night’s sleep can be challenging for everyone. A child will become cranky, irritable, and difficult to calm down.

What Happens If Sleep Apnea Is Left Untreated?

Posted by Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg, DDS

Sleeping well every night is one of the best things you can do for your mind and your overall health. Unfortunately, patients who suffer from sleep apnea are not getting the full night’s rest they need to function properly. Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which the soft tissues in the back of the throat relax during sleep, obstructing the airway and limiting proper oxygen flow. More than 22 million people suffer from the effects of sleep apnea. Although there are many people who have been diagnosed, there are still more who have yet to receive a diagnosis or who are not receiving treatment once diagnosed. When sleep apnea remains untreated, it can be extremely damaging to your overall health and lead to serious health complications.
