Hi there, thanks for asking. There is 90 percent chance that you have sleep apnea. Because you have hypertension, you have gastric reflux, you also have decreased amount of the part of sleep which has dreams in. Your age is almost 50 and if you are a man we can say almost definitely you have sleep apnea. You should ask your doctor to check for its possibility. He will measure your neck size to see if it is thick enough to cause it and also will weight you. Obesity can certainly cause apnea and weight loss is a good way to control it, although it is not an easy way to do. Best wishes.
