Central Sleep Apnea exists aswell.

  This sent me down a rabbit hole, but high altitude periodic breathing seems related for some people living at high altitude. Sleep apnea can be a disqualifying condition for pilots, so I like to be 1000% certain and have plans A, B, and C ready to go before seeking treatment.

    If jaw placement is an issue you can get corrective surgery without an apnea diagnosis (AFAIK). There’s a lot of info on Reddit, you can generally tell from your side profile or bite if it is a potential culprit.

    The FAA decided not to medically clear me over my severe apnea last year. Soul crushing moment.
