Sleep Apnea in Women: Why Is It So Misdiagnosed?
Consequences are still the same despite the gender
Undiagnosed sleep apnea can have serious consequences in both men and women, way more serious than only waking up feeling tired. Nevertheless, it has been demonstrated that undiagnosed women are at even more risk than men. There are much worse effects in women than only wanting to sleep some hours during the afternoon. It may cause problems such as irregular heartbeat and high blood pressure which increases the chances of having a stroke.
