Holding your breath while awake has nothing to do with central apnea or sleep apnea. It can be a habit some people get in to.
Sleep deprivation due to anything, especially OSA, can cause excessive stress, hypertension, and many other symptoms including making a sensitive person extremely sensitive.
Successful treatment of sleep apnea will help most medical problems and many mental problems.
