What Causes Sleep Apnea Post Pregnancy?
My wife is suffering with sleep apnea. She went through a 7 hour labour followed by a c section 5 days ago. She has woken twice fighting for breath and is now fearful of sleep but needs to as she is so tired and her body needs to recover. What can we do?

Hello,
Being overweight and lack of oxygen can cause sleep apnea. She should do breathing exercises and try to get adequate sleep at night.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
