I incurred a reputured ear drum,had surgery on and have chronic neck pain (injury) They cause sleep apnea?

I have been diagnossed with Sleep Apnea. And want to know if there is a connection with my Neck injury & Ear injury to the sleep apnea.

I don't think they are related, as the sleep apnea comes from you not being able to breathe very well at night. Unless you damaged your trachea somehow with your neck injury. Perhaps you could go to an ear nose and throat doctor to find out if there is any relation to your sleep apnea and ruptured eardrum. Bad break though, that must suck.
