HISTORY AND CLINICAL FINDINGS: A 44-year-old manager presented himself for the assessment of nocturnal apnoea. He reported increasing lack of drive and nightly angina pectoris.
INVESTIGATIONS: Polysomnography indicated obstructive apnoea and hypopnoea with a respiratory disturbance index of 29.1, while the ECG showed T wave inversion in all leads. There was severe hypothyroidism with atrophic thyroid tissue.
DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT AND COURSE: The patient had an obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS), hypothyroidism with myxoedema, hypopnoea and myocardial ischaemia. He was treated with negative peak airway pressure (nCPAP) ventilation, administration of L-thyroxine and initiation of anti-anginal medication, which relieved his symptoms. The severe hypothyroidism was thought to be the most important cause of his respiratory disorder and angina.
CONCLUSION: This case illustrates the connection between hypothyroidism and OSAS. Hypothyroidism must be excluded in patients with OSAS, regardless of the patient's age.
