Suggest Remedies For Sleep Apnea

Hello, I am 51 years old and have sleep apnea and use my CPAP. It is that I toss and turn most of the night , with feet craps in my arch around. Plus I am having a time getting the energy to get to the gym , as if i have not adrenaline. Now I do go to the gym for water aerobics 4 time a week for a hour, but lately just no energy to go. My mid section has got me depress for I have issue with excess around my chest and stomach that really bothers me alot. Being Afro American and a family history of obesity , has pushed me too try to do better. I am curious if this from low T, adrenaline fatigue for my age. One other thing, being honest ,my sex life is not good, due to me misses going througth menapause and no desire for that anymore. Cn yo help?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic

Fatigue can be due to sleep apnea. Decreased oxygen during sleep is the cause for the fatigue.
I would recommend undergoing. a repeat sleep study with CPAP, to see if you need increased pressure settings in CPAP.
Regarding the sex life, I would recommend talking yo your partner regarding how you feel and seek help of a counselor if needed.

Hope this answers your question
