A member asked:
Can vocal cord dysfunction be related to obstructive sleep apnea or sleep disturbances?
6 doctors weighed in across 4 answers
Maybe the reverse: Perhaps a problem in the upper airway is causing obstructive sleep apnea. See an otolaryngologist and get this addressed.

Yes: If gerd is part of the picture, the stomach contents can cause vocal cord dysfunction. You need to be treated for the sleep apnea.
