Can you die in your sleep with apnea ?

Can you really die in you sleep from sleep apnea?  Well, it is really really hard to die like that.  Most likely, you had a feeling of dying due to lack of oxygen.  During the deepest portion of sleeping, respiration can slow down to a very low five breaths a minute. In these cases, someone oberving you might think you are not breathing, and if you could see yourself you would be worried.

The good news is that anytime you stop breathing duing sleep, your brain goes into a panic mode which instantly wakes you up.

Sleep apnea while it may not kill you instantly, has serious side effects for example being tired the next day, early morning muscle fatigue due to sleep apnea, and heart problems.  This is due to drop in oxygen levels.
