OT: Sleep Study part IV

[NTDawg]

Clinic told me that it would take 7-10 days to get my results but they just called (30 hours after the test). They told me I had 493 arousals, which made me smile, then she explained that it means I woke up 493 times and I had 427 episodes of apnea. Does not sound good but it is better to know than not know. Thanks to yall that have provide advice and helped me to know what to expect during the study.

Sounds like a CPAP for you!

 

[NTDawg]

Yep. They wanted me to come back tonight for round 2 of the study with the CPAP but I'm going out of town this weekend. I will back on Wednesday for the next round.

Hope the apnea gets under control on a serious note.

Baptist Hospital in Jackson, MS. My Dr referred me.

 

[NTDawg]

Thanks. Hoping I will see positive effects of being able to sleep all night, I thought I was but I thought wrong.

How do you get the process started to get reffered?

Have a sleeping problem or a wife.

Have a sleeping problem or a wife.

I believe it requires both.

i had a follow up appointment with my dr about something, that is probably regaled to the apena. I told him about the snoring. He asked questions and made the referral. Pretty easy
