A member asked:
Can stress and anxiety cause someone to develop sleep apnea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unrelated: These two conditions are common and frequently present together in one individual. They are not causative of each other so the presence of one (stress and anxiety) does not automatically lead to the other (sleep apnea).
