Back to doctor: There are many possible diagnoses so you will need testing. See doctor and get started. Once you have the correct diagnosis you will have the correct treatment and move on being healthy

Sleep apnea: is certainly a POSSIBILITY. Please see your doc ASAP who MAY order a sleep study to find out. In any case, there is lots of help out there. Peace and good health.
