"When I did the full overnight test, they put me in the high risk category. My results were 'off the charts horrible', about 80 breathing pauses, or apneas, per hour."

"After diagnosis, I went from sleeping 14 hours and still feeling useless, to sleeping six to eight hours. But, it was not until my doctor suggested I connect with Lung Saskatchewan that I began to understand more about sleep apnea."

Did you know people with untreated sleep apnea have an increased risk of car or work accidents, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure or early death? More than 1 in 4 Canadian adults (26%) are at high risk of having or developing obstructive sleep apnea. If you, or someone you know is struggling with fatigue or loud snoring, talk to your family doctor about sleep apnea.
