Untreated sleep apnea can lead to several health consequences that may be avoided with treatment. Long-term health consequences that have been linked to sleep apnea include:
Alzheimer’s disease
Heart disease and stroke
High blood pressure
Cancer
Type 2 Diabetes
Depression
Being proactive about treatment may help reverse long-term health consequences. If you have symptoms related to sleep apnea, schedule a consultation with Dr. Henninger by calling (760) 940-2273.
During the consultation, Dr. Henninger will review your symptoms and examine your mouth and throat to see if you would benefit from a sleep study. If you have sleep apnea, we can begin treatment and start reversing the long-term damage caused by the disorder.
