Low levels of thyroid causes a high Thyroid Stimulating Hormone level. Thus can create what's called "air hunger".

Thank you. Found a good research article about this.

If you've had a sleep study that shows that you have sleep apnea you would probably want to treat that. Is it possible to rent a machine for a month or two to see how it goes? If you have two problems, why only treat one? Yes, my AHI is 38.5. In my country both renting a cpap or buying it is very c...

Are you currently using the cpap?

No, i havn't bought cpap yet. It's only 20 days i have tested polysomnography & TSH level.

thank you, i have got it. I will consult my doctor.

I have a TSH level of 54. How high it is?
I have been prescribed levothyroxine 150mcg daily. Is it a high dose?
I am troubled by some side effects like headache, specially like something is pressurizing my head all the time.

Have you started treatment for the hypothyroidism yet?

Yes, it's been only 15 days, i am taking levothyroxine 150mcg daily.

BTW are you overweight?

No, my bmi is 22

I assume you're asking because you have researched and found the relationship of hypothyroidism and sleep apnea.

Right, i found several articles which indicates hypothyroidism can lead to osa.

Take any meds that might interfere with sleeping?

I am not taking any medicine that might interfere with sleeping.

sleeping problem

Sometimes my breathing stops during sleep specially when i sleep on my back.

thanks a lot for your important advice.

My AHI is 38.5, but my lowest spo2 level is 91%. My doctor prescribed me auto cpap with 10.5 cm H2O pressure. I have been diagnosed with severe hypothyroidism. Do I actually need cpap? Or just treating my thyroid problem will solve my sleeping problem?
