Hello,
Yes, sleep apnea can cause fatigue. Obesity is one of the main reason for sleep apnea. Consult a dietician and focus on reducing weight in a healthy way by right diet and proper exercise. Reducing weight will also help in BP control.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
