I have been snoring for more than 10 years, 3 months ago I was diagnosed with hypertension. I am using BP drugs since then. Iast week I was again diagnosed with sleep apnea. Am using fexodine 120 mg, singular 10 mg and tabunex nasal spray. But of all the days last night I had a terrible sleep struggling to breathe bad dreams and kicking. I am 42 years of age. Is this normal or drugs side effects?

Hi. Use cpap with appropriate pressure for OSA regularly .weight reduction/ dietary modification. Remember hypertension can be associated with untreated OSA. Taking these medications is not the only solution. Consult ent specialist for any upper airway abnormality like Deviated nasal septum/ enlargement of tongue/ retracted mandible. Any evidence of allergic rhinosinusitis. Whether sleep study performed with pap titration? These could not be side effects rather these are the symptoms of inadequately treated sleep disorder. Please consider these issues seriously. Improve your quality of life. Thanks.
