If you've read Misery by Stephen King and thought “sheesh I wish it was a little more dystopian and trippier” it's exactly what Apnea serves. Reading Apnea is like plunging in an uncomfortable and unflinching fever dream and coming out the other side feeling sympathetic to people you spent most of the time wanting to punch in the throat.
In the story there is a virus which seemingly affects the Y chromosome and at some point the narrator states that gender stuff is just a trend and later there is a group shouting weird slogans about fascists and woke kills so it's really like watching TV on a regular day. On top of that there is a lot of potentially triggering stuff in there including but not limited to graphic SA scenes and a miscarriage so yeah approach with caution if you're not in the headspace to deal with that stuff.
