title: Ask the doctors.  I have always had a snoring problem and recently underwent a sleep test at the insistence of my wife.  I was diagnosed as having sleep apnea.  We have read about the connection between sleep apnea and heart disease, and now we are both concerned.  Will treating my sleep apnea reduce my heart risk?
