A member asked:
Can mild sleep apnea untreated for years cause autonomic neuropathy ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely at your age: Autonomic neuropathy is rare. Chest pain between gerd and heart disease can give autonomic symptoms such as light headedness, shortness of breath. Diabetes, valvular heart disease and brain disorders must be considered. See a neurologist and sleep medicine doctor for testing and treatment.
