Is it true that obstructive sleep apnea raises blood pressure in adults?
Unclear. Multiple reviews and reference sources state that obstructive sleep apnea raises blood pressure or causes hypertension, and one systematic review explicitly attributes hypertension to intermittent hypoxia in OSA. However, these are background statements and review-level assertions rather than a single study that directly measures the blood-pressure effect, so the evidence supports the claim only in part.
