Mixed sleep apnea is a combination of both Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Central Sleep Apnea. Sleep apnea is common and the usual sleep apnea patient is an overweight male forty or older but sleep apnea can strike anyone at any age.
Untreated sleep apnea can cause high blood pressure, serious heart problems, memory problems, weight gain, impotency, and headaches. Mixed sleep apnea can be responsible for job impairment and motor vehicle crashes when a sleep apnea patient falls asleep at the wheel.
