Brief Answer:
Please mention name of drug you are taking.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I can understand your concern.
This symptom is commonly seen with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
And this is frequently associated with obesity.
So please let me know
1. Are you obese?
2. Which drug you are taking? Please mention name of drug you are taking so that I can tell you whether it can cause this symptom or not. Any significant medical history?
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
