Sleep Apnea Treatment

Over the past 24 hours, my 10 week old son has begun showing an exaggerated startle reflex, though there is no external stimuli that we can determine.
He will be sleeping peacefully in a cradle, swing or in my arms, and about 2 to 5 minutes after falling asleep, he will fling his arms out and begin screaming as though he is terrified.
What could this be caused by?
I don’t think that obstructive apnea is a problem, as that would have manifested earlier, and initiated less drastically.
Any Ideas as to how to help the poor little guy?

I can’t use a C PAP.I tried for a month and gave up due to sleep deprivation. it doesn’t help anyway.
this is not obstructive. my air ways are open. it is more a neurological problem I think.

“Oxidative stress may increase the risk of asthma, contribute to asthma progression, and decrease lung function. Previous research suggests that use of acetaminophen, which is hypothesized to reduce antioxidant capacity in the lung, is associated with an increased risk of asthma. We hypothesized that acetaminophen use may also be associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and decreased lung function”.
Could High Acetaminophen use be linked to Sleep Apnea as well?

I wanna know if there is anything wrong with me. I have obstructive sleep apnea, and also scoliosis and asthma due too the scoliosis. I fear that i might fall and hurt myself one of these days. Please someone help me!

When I sent in my application for my health insurance, I forgot to note that I have obstructive sleep apnea. Stupid mistake, but I hadn’t had insurance since I was 20 years old and paid of my OSA treatments out of pocket nearly two years ago. I had an expensive hospital bill in September for a completely unrelated illness. When my insurer pulled my medical history, they saw the OSA and sent a letter with reimbursement for premiums and said that my coverage was null and void. I feel that they should cover the bill since the illness was unrelated.
