does sleep apnea cause light-headedness, dizzyness, and feeling unbalanced. i also have high blood pressure and stress out easily. in the past two nights i’ve been waking up shaking. the first night, 5 hrs after i went to sleep, it happend. last night two hrs. after i went to sleep, dad and sister woke me up when they got home, it happend. i also don’t sleep that well because in my dream i feel like i suffocate and then wake up. the past week i was stressed out because i was going away from my parents with my cousin to my aunt’s in Canada for a chek-up over there and today, day i was leaving, i didn’t leave because i got pain in the middle top of my chest, but it went away, turned out to be air and gas in my chest. what is the main thing you feel when you have brain cancer/ tumor depending anywhere it would be located? Seizures right. i don’t have them.i’m really feeling light headedness but it’s also is hot. oh and i also felt chest tightness and presure which didn’t let me breath deep. i also felt head pressure and dizzy, but when i forgot about it,or rested on the bed, it went away. is this all caused because of sleep apnea. i haven’t gone to the docter or sleep speacialist,but going on tuesday to doctor so might get a sleep study done to so don’t say go to doctor.

Is this the reason why my husband is the way he is?

I’ve been trying to chase my problem down for years now. Basically my symptoms are, I have terrible memory and am tired all the time.
I cannot pay attention no matter what. Coffee does not help either, it gives me energy but does not re-leave the fog.

Whats scary to me is I’m getting even worse and its almost becoming hard to function. I’m in what feels like a “trance” most of the time – once in a while I do feel “normal” but “damaged”. There was a point in my life where I was actually getting better rapidly but that went away. I also have a very low sex drive and suffer depression – if that makes any difference.

I retired Oct 2008 from the Navy. I had a brain anurysm in the past while i was in the navy. I was diagnose with sleep apnea w/ cpap machine 2 yrs ago. do any one know what percent i will be looking at, or a ruff estimate. thanks for reading.

For certain biological activity to take place in the body, the brain must relay a message to that body part, or organ for that activity to be performed.  In the case of central sleep apnea, the brain sends inappropriate signals to the muscles responsible for breathing, resulting in the repeated stopping and starting of breathing while the person is asleep.

Central sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by episodes of cessation of respiration while sleeping.  The brain does not send the proper messages to the muscles of breathing.  Central sleep apnea is not as common as other sleep apneas as is counted as less than five percent of all the sleep apneas combined.
