Can You Die From Sleep Apnea? Reggie Whites Legacy



Published
The science is in and there's absolutely no doubt that untreated sleep apnea increases the risks for serious conditions like heart disease and stroke but can you actually die from apnea? (ie suffocation). I don't know!? I've seen patients in the lab with obstructive events over 1 min in length but they always seem to come up for air. It's stressful to watch.

Both my young children had very very severe OSA and i can't help but wonder if it might be an underlying cause of SIDS.

One things for sure. Sleep apnea is a not so silent killer. It puts a tremendous amount of stress on your body (and mind) and it will suck the life out of you if untreated so please take it seriously and do encourage your love ones to seek treatment.

Thanks for watching! Lots of love & RIP Reggie.

Here's the details for the Reggie White Foundation.
