One plays a dangerous game when they do not use the CPAP. I don't want to alarm you but, you can come down with something worse like Secondary Pulmonary Hypertension. I have this condition because no one picked up on the fact that my snoring was causing me to have this condition and right heart failure. Look up Sleep Apnea and Pulmonary Hypertension. I snored that is all I did. My drs. would ask me if I snored and I said yes but, because I did not fit the ususal pattern they were not concerned. I now have severe obstructive sleep apnea, SPH, right heart failure.
You can develop these conditions from sleep apnea.

You need to realize how serious all of this is. There are two boards you can check out and ask questions about this disease and apnea. PHCentral.org and PHAssociation.org

More and more they are discovering apnea causes heart failure not heart failure causing apnea.
