OSA costs the NHS over £400 million a year as it causes raised blood pressure, weight gain, heart attacks, diabetes, strokes etc. The economic burden is greater as it causes road traffic accidents (40% of RTAs are caused by OSA drivers), and tiredness makes you less productive. Treating OSA solves most of these problems relatively quickly. Learn more about these consequences in this section.
A lot of people think that tiredness is a good way to diagnose sleep apnoea, but the vast majority of people with sleep apnoea are not excessively tired. There are screening tests that help like STOPBANG, but the only way to diagnose OSA is to do a good Sleep Study.
