well, for a normal person, the CPAP machine is pretty ok. but contraindicated among patients with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) because this can result in air-trapping (due to their condition), which can be quite fatal.
if you haven't be diagnosed with any lung problem, or even vascular problem, then you shouldn't worry about it.
make sure the pressure is not too high, and just right -- sometimes, a very high pressure can cause vascular problems.

People will always die with or without a sleep apnea machine.. but they are less likely to die from side effects from the sleep apnea such as CAD and HTN. A C-PAP's basically only side effect is noise and discomfort for those using it.

there are no side effects that i know of. you just have to keep the water clean and change the filters. with it you get sleep, without it, you dont. so, i would say that people die without it.
