Does sleep apnea go away on its own?

Untreated obstructive sleep apnea does not resolve spontaneously — and in most patients, it progressively worsens over time, particularly with age-related changes in upper airway muscle tone and any weight gain. The exception is children with OSA caused by enlarged tonsils and adenoids, where adenotonsillectomy is often curative. For adults — particularly those with obesity, craniofacial anatomy, or significant comorbidities — professional treatment at Pulmovista Clinics is the only reliable path to resolution or significant improvement.
