Good morning hadit,

I have both ptsd and TBI and believe my diagnosed sleep apnea (mixed sleep apnea, with both central and obstructive sleep apnea) has been directly caused by my ptsd and TBI. I am not overweight, have no medical issues of the throat or the respiratory system that would cause it. My question to you all is if I want to file sleep apnea secondary to either of this conditions which one should i file it secondary to? I’ve found much more literature tying obstructive sleep apnea to ptsd but also found literature that ties both obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea to brain injuries as well. Is it possible to file it secondary to both?
