Oxygen: Hello and Welcome to HealthTap, there are couple of different possibilities; the most important ones being obstructive Sleep Apneia. Others could be Obesity hypoventilation Syndrome, cardiovascular and/or lung relate issues. If you are interested I will be more than happy to go through a detailed history, I need more information to differentiate one from the other. I hope it helps. Thank you :)
