Life expectancy of people with Sleep Apnea and recent progresses and researches in Sleep Apnea
Can be quite a bit lower than normal if left undiagnosed or untreated. It's very important to get tested and start a treatment program long term if you think you might have it. It is possible to die from this disease if severe and not treated.

Surgery for weight loss
If the sleep apnea is caused in part by severe obesity, the weight loss can act favorably on the apnea.

However, this option is reserved for obesities serious.
