Hi, as you a said, there is sleep apnea, and dyspnoea on exertion. They strongly suggest heart problem, may be valular defects. I advise you to consult a cardiologist for diagnosis and treatment . You may need to have echo cardiogram, for confirmation of the condition. Other causes may be the anemia, cardiac involveing hypo thyroidism, etc. arthritis may be due secondary to the cardiac problem, or indipendent. Thank you.
