Your sleep apnea is not the direct result of taking these medicines.
Benzhexol has no role in causing sleep apnea.
Sulpiride will not cause sleep apnea but may precipitate it or worsen it by causing weight gain.
You should take proper treatment for your sleep apnea. Weight reduction will help immensely.
I hope this answers your question.
