Is it OK now? You can also post as a guest. In regards to your question, anabolic steroids like testosterone can definitely aggravate sleep apnea.

One way of looking at this is to think of it like a migraine. Contrary to what you know about classic migraines, a migraine is any overstimulation of nerve endings in any part of your body. It can happen in your brain (your classic migraine), year sinuses (classic sinus headaches), your stomach, hands, and even your ears. You can have any inner ear symptoms when your ear's nerve endings are not working properly. Another way of looking at this is to think of either an infection or a minor stroke in the part of your brain that controls hearing perception. This could also occur in the inner ear as well. My feeling is that if you have any of the symptoms that I talk about related to sleep-breathing problems (always tired, no matter how long you sleep, you can't sleep on your back, chronic ear, nose, sinus or throat problems), then this is a good explanation for your ear issue.
