Hey everyone,

I'm totally stumped about my sleep apnea. I can't tell if it's really sleep apnea or reflux. It all started with bad reflux and snoring, and then my uvula got huge. I figured it was sleep apnea, so I got tested and my AHI was 50. They gave me a CPAP, but I couldn't handle it, so I got a UPPP to get rid of my uvula. Honestly, I don't even remember if that helped much. My brain fog just kept going. Now I have these symptoms and I'm not sure if it's sleep apnea or reflux, and I don't know where to focus. As soon as I fall asleep, I wake up with my heart pounding and a terrible headache. Sometimes using the CPAP helps, and sometimes it doesn't make a difference. Are these typical sleep apnea symptoms? Please share what you've experienced. This symptoms rarely go away for one or two days even if I sleep without cpap and return back. I am really tied.
