What Causes Irregular Breathing & Low Oxygen Levels?

Hi, I have low blood platelet count of 114 and sometimes I am just as tired in the mornings as I am when I went to bed, especially during a cold or flu. Also I was told, after a sleep apnea test, that for 11 minutes during the night my oxygen level is really low and I have stop breathing periods. So my question is: Would this tiredness be due to sleep apnea or low blood platelets, or both? Thanks.

Respected Sir, hi I evaluated your query.
Tiredeness is more in connection to tissue hypoxia and low oxygen levels as platelets are not that much low to cause effects.
* Perform Deep Breathing exercises and YOGA 30 minutes a day on very
regular basis in your routine life.
* Maintain Hydration levels, BP , Blood sugar , cholesterol levels.
* Fresh air walking for better tissue oxygenation.
* Light exercises at home.
* Avoid smoking / alcohol / abuse substances if consuming.
* Schedule fix time sleeping / waking.
* Avoid excess anger / stress episodes.
Hope this helps you in some or other way to your problem.
