The national pandemic may officially be over, but many patients are still suffering with the effects of Long COVID. New research shows that having sleep apnea increases your risk for developing Long COVID, in addition to a higher risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. Untreated sleep apnea can have a detrimental impact on your physical and mental health, so we encourage all patients to find a treatment for sleep apnea that they can use comfortably and consistently every night. Sleep Well, Be Well!
Having obstructive sleep apnea could increase a person’s chance of getting long COVID by as much as 75%, new research shows, suggesting that people with sleep apnea who receive a COVID-19 diagnosis may benefit from additional monitoring.
