Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by Charlie Baker: Could sleep apnea caused by enlarged tonsils effect my running?
I was just diagnosed with possible sleep apnea due to large tonsils and adenoids. My sleep test could not be scheduled until after my first two meets and the results will not come until the fifth one. So I was wondering if either the apnea or the tonsils and adenoids would effect my running and decrease my times. I run the 2 mile. Thank you.

I posted this under the wrong category before. I have a deviated septum, one of my nostrils is almost completly closed. I also have obstructive sleep apnea (too much tissue in my throat). I’m trying to start running but when I reach about a mile I have shortness of breath. Could this be the cause?
