I don't have apnea and I don't smoke, but I wake up in the morning out of breath and very tired. Why is that?

Question:

It always takes me about an hour or so to regain my normal breathing rate and to stop feeling so tired after waking up. I'm 59 years old and have a few health problems such as diabetes, and fatty liver disease, although I'm only slightly overweight and I don't drink.

Answers:
There are a ton of possible reasons. Your best bet is to have your doctor schedule a sleep study for you. They monitor your breathing, leg movements, blood pressure and a lot of other things so they can narrow it down for you. If you have gained weight you might have started to develop apnea. I know of a few people that happened to and a cpap machine took care of it right away.

Other Answers:
If I were you I would go get a nuclear/stress test. that will show a lot of things.
