Answers:
I tried to find information on the listed ingredients, and found this:

I think it is your cough syrup, or at least a similar one.
"A study at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine published in a 1994 article, "Pharmacological studies of nin jion pei pa koa", indicated that Pei Pa Koa had significant effect on relieving coughs, removing sputum, relieving asthma in vivo and in vitro[2]."
So, this stuff has been looked at, and found helpful. If it cures your apnea, go for it! To me, it sounds somewhat dangerous - all of the ingredients I found on Wikipedia are listed as poisonous plants...
But most medicines are more or less toxic, so that shouldn't stop you if it's really helping you.
i think you need to try it at least another week to test it. it might just be a freaky coincidence.
