I Think I Have Developed Daytime Apnea. I Hold My

I think I have developed daytime apnea. I hold my breath while awake. Usually when intensely concentrating. Or as I begin to dream while falling asleep. I don't hold so long as to gasp for air.
I have complex (mixed) sleep apnea and use a cervo ventilator every night.
But it is now happening during the day.
I've heard several hypotheses - brain stem issue, brain issue general, pulmonary issues, etc. I have chronic sinusitis and don't breath well through my nose so think this may have .conditioned me to breath differently.
Anyway, I am aware of the dangers and want to seek solutions.
Thoughts?
