What Could Cause Sleep Apnea?
I am aged 32 years, weighing 92kg, with height of 1,7 mtres , I am suffering from sleep apnea, whereby i stop breathing the moment i fall asleep or think deeply. however before i experienced this condition i used to take benzhoxol and sulpiride, do you think my sleep apnea is a result of taking these medications

Your sleep apnea is not the direct result of taking these medicines.
Benzhexol has no role in causing sleep apnea.
Sulpiride will not cause sleep apnea but may precipitate it or worsen it by causing weight gain.
You should take proper treatment for your sleep apnea. Weight reduction will help immensely.
I hope this answers your question.
