Is Night Sweats And Abnormal ECG Related?

I am a 31 yr old male who has been excessively sweating at night in my sleep. I have sleep apnea, but I have not been using my c-pap machine and recently had an abnormal EKG and have to undergo more testing on that. Could this all be related and what could be causing it?

The answer to your question, if I have it right is that the symptoms that you report may be related to sleep apnea. With this problem, you are working very hard all night long resulting in fractured and non-restful sleep. The physical work and difficulty breathing may produce a variety of health problems. Proper treatment is essential as is losing the weight that is so often at the root of the problem. If your breathing apparatus is uncomfortable your physician or sleep provider can help find a setup that will work for you.
