Confused Sleep Apnea & Hypopnea

Some time back I posted about my situation. I have had double vision for about 3 years. My neuro-opthalmologist also found a droopy eyelid and I've had muscle weakness in my legs. Blood testing was negative for antibodies. A single fiber EMG was inconclusive--not normal, but not typical of MG.

I've also had considerable shortness of breath. My lung function workup showed I have weak breathing muscles and hypoventilate. A sleep study found I have more Central Apnea incidents than obstructive apnea incidents, and highest of all are hypopnea incidents. My lowest oxygen saturation was 61 percent and I had 95 minutes of time (out of 506 minutes) when oximetry was less than 89 percent.

Has anyone with diagnosed MG had similar symptoms? I'm still wondering if I might have MG. See the neuro-opthalmologist for my next appointment in two weeks.
