Are there any sinus problems related to sleeping. I have been dx with Obstructed Sleep Apnea. I awaken every hour on the hour unable to breath and I find my sinuses are closed. What is happening?

Obstructive Sleep apnea has many causes. A deviated septum can be a cause. Tonsils, adnoids, and elongated uvula can also be causes of sleep apnea. Being over weight is another cause of sleep apnea. A deviated septum is a sinus issue and could be the reason for your OSA. Whatever reason the obstruction is occurring the effect is the same. You will awaken often gasping for air because your airway is being obstructed. To solve this issue you have the option of CPAP therapy or possibly surgery.
