How do you know?: Did someone observe you stop breathing? Theoretically pharyngitis can can soft tissue swelling and cause sleep apnea. Did you ever had it before? Are you overweight? Do you snore? If you do - see your doctor, it is time for a sleep apnea test. It can be done at home with current technology.
