You are likely to have decreases in oxygen due to snoring and this puts additional strain on your heart. This is the most common time for all people to have a heart attack and your CPAP is unrelated. YOu should make every attempt to modify all your risks for CAD by losing weight, controlling blood sugar and reducing cholesterol. In addition I highly recommend that you continue your CPAP if snoring and obstruciton of your airway is common while you sleep. I hope you find this information useful.
