Have you had untreated CSA for years?

Have you had untreated CSA for years?
It is my belief that the symptoms listed for CSA on most websites are grossly incomplete. Have you had symptoms that have gone away after CPAP that are not listed anywhere? A business acquaintance of mine noticed that he would gag while brushing his teeth which stopped after starting CPAP. I had trouble walking and standing too much from my earliest memories until I was around 10 years old (due to low oxygen levels in my muscles).

Have you struggled to find a complete list of untreated CSA symptoms anywhere?

My experience of nearly dying from covid (December of 2021) and having long covid still requiring oxygen at times has taught me much about being oxygen deficient and how I feel at different SpO2 levels.

As I’ve posted on here, it is firmly my belief that I’ve had CSA since birth or at a very early age. I feel like I could write an 80 page book on the symptoms and effects it has had on my life (“TRAPPED by CSA in a Malfunctioning Body”) and I’ve only just begun my discovery into all of this. The big takeaway that I see is that untreated CSA and covid/long covid are very similar because they are both ultimately an oxygen deficiency (Think of all of the wildly different symptoms of covid/long covid).  It makes sense that a lack of proper oxygen could affect every system and cell in your body causing a vast array of symptoms.

Finding good information and a complete symptoms list eludes me. What symptoms have you noticed went away after CPAP?  Are there many people on here who were undiagnosed for long periods of time? Is this just too uncommon?

It is my wish to spread the word in hopes that other people don’t go untreated by informing them and doctors of the signs.

Thank you,
