Post Parasympathetic Overload 
First off, I do not have health insurance.

I am not going to include a personal inventory of information, I just have a question which MAY be relevant to my situation, being a unique person for sleep apnea 24 years old male, 165lbs. built like a sprinter.  

Two things I should mention though is that my 1.5 hours sleep in a study included no OSA's and 80 or so hypopneas.  Also, on my worst night of having some type of centrals happening every time I started to drift off to sleep, I had an abnormal heart RATE of 48-50 bpm.  My blood pressure at the end of a day of relaxing and working out is typically 100/40 or so.  In the beginning of the day, all my vitals are much more normal.

Is it possible that my parasympathetic NS is ruling so much at night that I am losing my natural ability to breathe briskly?  Has  this ever been addressed by doctors anywhere?

I know I DO have OSA episodes, especially if I lie on my back.  But, my perception of what is happening to me is all I have (no sleeping partner) and it seems to me like I am suffering from more than just OSA but some type of central or shallow breathing too.
