Could my husband’s sleep apnea be causing numbness in his left arm?

My husband has sleep apnea but it is’nt being treated yet, he has an appointment in July. He has been experiencing headaches and now his left arm is going numb, can this be from sleep apnea?

Most likely it’s not from sleep apnea. If his arm is numb, then he needs to go see a doctor as it could be something serious. It could be a cardiac issue, or a nerve issue. Only a doctor could determine that.

    It could, possibly. But not likely. His numbness is likely associated with some other more serious condition. He should see a doc very soon.

    Headaches, maybe. Numbness, not likely. Apnea will disturb his level of sleep level and therefore his alertness when awake. Still, ask the doctor about it. Could be heart. Have him ask for c-pap machine.
