Yes, the symptoms are similar, but it makes sense to have both (based on the statistic that a lot of apneacs and hypothyroidacs (sp?) are overweight.

I have both hypothyroidism and sleep apnea. The thyroid problem was diagnosed 3 years ago and although I felt some relief, I am still totally exhausted all the time. Now, if I don't get some relief from this AutoAdjust which should arrive tomorrow, I'm gonna start getting scared, lol!
