- outworlder 2y agoYes, although untreated sleep apnea is dangerous and you shouldn't rely on this if you suspect you have it. It may make it better but you may still be starving your tissues of oxygen.
- jfengel 2y agoConversely, for my case: I was told that my sleep apnea didn't rise to the level of a medical condition needing intervention, but I should try to avoid sleeping on my back to help with the problems that do present.
- fahrnfahrnfahrn 2y agoI have sleep apnea that I treat with a BiPAP machine. The neurologist who manages it said that everybody has sleep apnea to some degree, and, as a matter of fact, with my BiPAP machine, I have fewer episodes than the average person.

- post-it 2y agoGood luck!
- op00to 2y agoThanks! It went well.
- dotancohen 2y agoHow did you sleep?
- op00to 2y agoJust fine. It was a total non-issue! I slept fine before, but now I’m not gonna give myself a stroke or heart attack.
