Hello,
Ratio leniotec is a tablet used for pain and headache and it contains codeine which can make you sleepy. Also, it suppresses respiration so I think it can't be used by you. You better go to ENT doctor to get tested because a blockage in the nose can cause sleeping apnea.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
