What Causes Fatigue While Suffering From Sleep Apnea?

I am a 59 year old female. I have sleep apnea and on a cpap machine. Lately I have been sleeping 7 to 8 hours a night without any interruptions. I am though tired all the time. I m tired when I wake up, I m tired during the day, and I m tired when I get home from work. I have managed to loose 30 lbs. I choose to lose the weight I didn t lose it without trying. I joined weight watchers and it s working well for me. My blood pressure is still a little elevated and yes I m on meds for it. High bp does run in my family and so does heart problems. Thank you,

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There are many causes for fatigue. And sleep apnea may well be. But once you said you sleep for 8 hours with CPAP, we must then look for other causes. These include a lot but low hb , hypothyroidism, diet and drugs may be the cause. Low mode can also be the cause. So I would suggest you see your doctor, he would assess u and get your tests done and hopefully it works for you.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
