Does having COPD cause Apnea ?

I am getting Sleep disturbance notifications on my Apple Watch at night. An indication of possible Apnea. I am on 10mm of prednisone, dupixent, Breztri and nebulize twice a day. Who knows ?

  1. Hi . There are a lot of potential causes for sleep apnea and the test is really simple. You can even do it at home. It might be worthwhile. If sleep apnea goes untreated, it can lead to heart trouble and stroke. Here is an article about the diagnostic process from one of our sister communities: https://sleepapnea.sleep-disorders.net/diagnosis. I hope this helps. Warmly, Lori (Team Member)
