multiple problems

Two years ago, I had my thyroid remove because of cancer.  I have also been told I have moderate to severe alpha intrusion and I have sleep apnea.  I also have a type of seizure sometimes at night.  Are these things all related?

Its very hard to say.
Do you have an Autoimmune Disease...Hashimotos or Graves Disease?
If you show Alpha waves in your sleep, I dont think it would be connected in any way to Thyroid Cancer.
Obviously you have seen a Neurologist...what did he say about the seizures, alpha waves and the apnoea?
I would think that they are all connected to electrical and chemical impulses in the brain.
I dont have enough knowledge to give you a direct answer.
Maybe another member here can help with this one.
