Sleep apnea could mean other issues
If you have sleep apnea, health experts say you should also watch for another problem: cardiovascular disease.

According to health experts, blood oxygen drops caused by sleep apnea can strain the cardiovascular system and cause increased blood pressure. Those drops in oxygen can also reduce life expectancy.

Doctors at the Cleveland Clinic say to combat the problem, follow these tips: keep windows closed despite warm temperatures, change clothes and shower at night to wash off any allergens you bring in during the day, and keep pets off your bed. They also say taking nasal steroids or oral and nasal antihistamines can also help relieve your symptoms.
