In my case sleep apnoea was caused by ethanol. Looked up if alcohol causes sleep apnoea and it does, it causes the airways to collapse. Dont know if it can be rectified by just giving up alcohol though
Knew someone on facebook with it and used to be an alcoholic and as far as I know she still had sleep apnoea even though she gave up the drink @TAB
But that sounds quite severe the length of time and amount of times you stopped breathing. It must be very distressing for you. Where to from here? Has your doctor indicated what is going to happen next? One of those face machines you got to sleep with.
You still got to sort out Centrelink.
At least nothing came up on the brain scan
