Health experts agree that having untreated sleep apnea can reduce your life expectancy. A 2020 data review found that people with sleep apnea were, on average, 74% more likely to die of any cause.

Unfortunately, it’s difficult to calculate the average lifespan of someone who has gone untreated with sleep apnea. One reason for this is that people rarely die of sleep apnea alone. Instead, they die of conditions that are made worse or even caused by sleep apnea. Another issue is the majority of people with untreated sleep apnea don’t even know they have it.

So, while we can’t say precisely how long you can expect to live with sleep apnea, we can tell you that seeking treatment has a very positive effect on mortality rates. And that's where we come in. Treatment is just one phone call away, and consultations are free. Call Sleep Better Idaho at (208) 900-8686 today.
