It could, possibly. But not likely. His numbness is likely associated with some other more serious condition. He should see a doc very soon.

Headaches, maybe. Numbness, not likely. Apnea will disturb his level of sleep level and therefore his alertness when awake. Still, ask the doctor about it. Could be heart. Have him ask for c-pap machine.

Most likely it’s not from sleep apnea. If his arm is numb, then he needs to go see a doctor as it could be something serious. It could be a cardiac issue, or a nerve issue. Only a doctor could determine that.

the numbness you are talking about, could be the heart, also it could be carpel tunnel syndrome, see your doctor.
