A member asked:
I am young, healthy weight w/ autoimmune condition & likely autonomic disorder.when falling asleep, i often stop breathing & wake up super dizzy.cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Apnea: The dizzy could be related to your lack of air. Why you stop breathing is hard to say, may have sleep apnea, but i'm having a hard time tying this into your autoimmune problem unless if affects respiratory muscles.
