Severe sleep apnea sufferers more likely to die
I have some news for you, sports fans. One way or another, everyone dies. Folks with severe sleep apnea may indeed have a risk for dying sooner, true enough. But sooner or later, everyone dies.
You might evade the Grim Reaper for awhile. But he will eventually take you.

It is always the other guy that is going to get it... never me, statistically too true. Six and a plus billion of you and one of me, and I am not going tomorrow - but some of you are.
I didn't know I had apnea until a heart attack knocked me down; the doctor said it definitely contributed heavily to it. Upon testing, the results showed that I stopped breathing an average of 75 times an hour, and my oxygen levels averaged about 58%. A CPAP is better, but they are still uncomfortable and annoying to use.
Bob, doesn't a blood O2 level of 58% put you well into the range of hypoxia?
