Can Shortness Of Breath And Sleep Apnea Be Due To Agent Orange Exposure?
I was in vietnam from 1969 - 1970 and stationed in Danang where they used agent orange. I am also diagonosed with being sterile and now also have sleep apna. I also have one eye that will be open when I sleep , have high blood pressure,have had part of my large intestines cut out, and shortness of breath. Could this have been caused by exposure to the agent orange?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Agent orange exposure for 1 year may cause bronchitis an breathing difficulty.
But I don't think this exposure is the cause for your sleep apnea, one eye opened during sleep and bowl resection and hypertension.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
