Can central sleep apnea cause daytime breathlessness?

Yes, sleep apnea can cause you to be short of breath during the day. I thought I was getting a good night’s sleep but my sleep test showed I stopped breathing hundreds of times during the 6 hour test. A good CPAP will allow you to have truly restorative sleep and healing. You will be amazed at the positive changes to your health. Be patient and give it time to undo previous damage. Best of luck on your test.

Yes, been told I have sleep apnea...tried CPAP....did not work for me....I am getting much worse...especially when I first get up...I am in a deep haze for about approx 1 hour ....prob because my brain was somewhat oxygen starved?
I fear one of these days...I will not wake up...period.
I dose off constantly during day, too. Sooo fatigued. Can't do for myself...I live by myself--- no help at all.. Concentrating is hard.
I am 73...would a med called adderall help me? I am not familiar with it...& my GP is a jerk about "mental meds" I have been told. I keep telling about my issues here and he laughs...says it a part of aging!! I am upset. Anyone got some advise for my dilemma?. I want to get active and be me again!!...have an alert mind again and not falling asleep all the time at home.
