I am a 59 year old female, average weight, & was diagnosed with sleep apnea a year ago. I have been using a CPAP since. About 4 months ago, I stopped using statins (after 30 years of being on them), and found it immediately improved my sleep significantly. I even stopped using the CPAP, and my sleep is better than it’s been in decades. I’m wondering if the statins CAUSED my sleep apnea, and whether ceasing statins has possibly cured my sleep apnea. Have there been any studies linking statins and sleep apnea as a side effect?
