Does Sleep Apnea And Anemia Has Any Relation?

I`ve had sleep ampnea for many years and have been diagnosed with having anemia. Is there a connection? My doctor seems to somewhat ignore me when I suggest that there is. They can`t seem to find the answer. I had upper GI scope and a couple years back had my lowers checked and also, stool check. No Answer

NO there is no relation between Sleep Apnoea and anemia .

What I advise is Get your Peripheral Smear for Blood Pictur test dine and revert back to me with reports . This will give us a clue to what direction we need to head in the evaluation of your Anemia .
