What causes apnea: Your sleep apnea may be a symptom of a metabolic problem. If your body is overly alkaline, your breathing would slow down to help you accumulate co2 and therefore be less alkaline. What causes alkalinity in the first place? One major cause is poor metabolism of carbohydrates also known as Insulin resistance. Reduce your consumption of sugars and carbohyrates. See a md who is knowledgable in metab.
