seriousness of OSA

Posted by MikeD on July 07, 2002 at 13:06:57:

is OSA really a serious disorder? I know most say it is, but it doesnt seem like it is to me anyway. I was diagnosed with moderate to severe OSA and I get drowsy alot and loose my concentration, but am able to function most normally. If I don't treat it will anything happen to me or is it likely not to? I know this sounds rhetorical but I am brain storming. I am currently a U.S. servicemember and was just wondering what some of you people think. Thanks..
