What Causes Severe Sleep Apnea?

I was diagnosed with Celiac in 06, PCOS in 07, Hashimotos in 09, and Cushings in 11. No matter what I do, I can t seem to lose weight, I eat healthy, walk regularly, drink lots of water, etc.... My body tends to react oddly to different things like when I have had the stomach flu and can t eat anything for a week, I end up gaining 12-18lbs not lose like most ppl. I also have severe sleep apnea, Celiac neuropathy,and early Parkinson s. The weight is getting to the point that everything hurts(joints) and it is hard to do normal things. I have seen many specialists who try but can t seem to come up with anything that actually works. I am not diabetic, however with the weight gain consistently they feel I will become diabetic. I even have a nutritionist who comes 2x a week to my home and goes through everything. I eat what I should and not junk. I need help! I know this is putting a strain on my heart and don t want to end up having a heart attack.

Hey there, Sorry to listen about your diseases.

I think you should consult a good endocrinologist, to get done hormonal control.

And yes sleep apnoea is due to your over weight, either you loose weight or have CPAP at night that will help you to loose weight.
