Q&A: Can sleep apnea cause people to not sleep at all?
Question by : Can sleep apnea cause people to not sleep at all?
i know someone that has sleep apnea and can hardly ever fall asleep. we have been wondering if sleep apnea can cause not being able to shut off and go to sleep or if it’s more serious such as a brain tumor. also seroquel and other sleeping meds aren’t helping her fall asleep so please tell me what should be done.

not sure?
I had sleep apnea when my nostrils and neck are very clogged up. This means that whenever I had sinusitis or pneumonia(sinusitis and pneumonia go hand in hand it seems) I’d always have sleep apnea for a few seconds. Hell, even minor irritation on my neck can cause this. You should possibly go to a doctor and see if this has anything to do with that. Maybe he has polyps or some sort of benign mucus tumor.
Usually, brain tumors are a rare diagnosis and most of the symptoms can be explained and linked to other problems. However, if you suspect a brain tumor and the tests your doctor recommended came out normal then you should talk to your doctor about the possibility of getting an MRI.
