Common Questions and Answers about Sleep apnea oxygen
sleep
I'm not sure about the seeing things, but your heart rate being up could be linked to why you feel scared. And it could possibly be sleep apnea. Waking up frequently may also be a sign of sleep apnea, though one does not have to do this in order to have it. A reason you may be waking up could be because your brain is realizing that you are not getting enough oxygen, and this causes you to wake up. Your heart rate being up could also be due to lack of oxygen.
Hi, Dr Carolyn Dean talks about sleep apnea and Magnesium supplementation . If you google : Magnesium and sleep Apnea.
I have family members who also refuses to use CPAP, so they are trying Mg instead. Still at the starting stage. But what I could tell you is that snoring is definitely less.. :)
Sleep apnea causes high BP, memory loss, headaches, poor concentration, fatigue and so many more..
So I'd say, give Mg Glycinate a try..
While doing a sleep study they said I had 186 episodes in 8 hours & my oxygen level kept going down to 60 percent. What exactly does all this mean?
Well there are different types of sleep apnea, central and obstructive and there may be one more.......But not sure how one with sleep apnea may be affected during the day.
Restless legs is associated with sleep apnea and sleeping issues that I know the sleep clinics treat it.....Do talk to your Dr about this.
The O2 levels are not dropping because every time there is an arousal and you will take deep breaths to compensate for the apnea. If this is extended then it can cause a drop in oxygen levels. Obstructive Sleep Apnea is more common in people who snore. These people are also more prone for Hypertension.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Snoring does often accompany sleep apnea, but just because you snore does not mean you have sleep apnea and vice versa. Minor sleep apnea is responsive to self-help remedies such as losing weight, eliminating the use of alcohol, tobacco, and sedatives; sleeping on your side, and regularizing your sleep hours. It would be best to see a sleep specialist for proper management and to ease your worries. Take care and keep us posted.
They told Craig he has moderate to severe sleep apnea and needs a CPAP immediately. So it is arriving tomorrow. It is the size of a laptop computer and has a "smart card" in it that records data during the night while the person is sleeping. We then take the card to each follow up appt and they will download the information on it.
Anyway, the sleep doctor was telling me that many problems could be caused by sleep apnea.
I currently have a friend who has Hypoxia, and has severe sleep apnea. She has a CPAP / with oxygen and her O2 levels are ridiculously low. Low 80's. She is obese and refuses to lose weight. She was taking opiates for months that ultimately caused her apnea.she is also averaging 58 apneas an hour. She woke the other night gasping for air. I have said to her so many times...execise, lose weight and eat better...this should make her start feeling better right??
i have been diagnosed with sleep apnea.....overall,mild obstructive apnea,becoming severe in rem sleep with mild oxygen desaturation.I used a nose prong (resimed) for three weeks no problems at all,then developed dermatitus in and below my nose,sore and unsightly.I tried a mouth splint ,with lots of adjustments,had facial and ear pain.My doctor advised perservering with c-pap,but also adding the apnea was not bad....total rdi=12.1/hr.I am going on a cruise next week,and I am worried.
t sleep at night till 3 a.m.. We think I have sleep apnea I did have a test to check for it but we do not know the reslults yet. I do wake up in the mornings with blue around my mouth. Does this sound like sleep apnea to you? Do you have any idea of anything I could do to help me sleep at night so I don't have to do deal with the pain when I am supposed to be sleeping?
Is it some type of chronic lung disease, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or is it due to sleep apnea, where your breathing stops during sleep sometimes for long periods of time. The most common form of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea and a much less common form is central sleep apnea. I suggest that you contact your doctor and ask him/her what is the cause of your abnormal oxygen level? It is unlikely that oxygen, alone, will be the optimum treatment.
My husband was recently diagnosed with Sleep Apnea at a sleep clinic. He has suffered from severe, almost
debilitating fatigue for many years, never knowing why. He does not snore. It turns out there is a non-snoring type
of Sleep Apnea, and not one doctor (of many, MANY!) ever suggested this as a cause for the fatigue and exhaustion.
Now he is using a CPAP machine, and adjusting quite well!
The repeated oxygen loss from sleep apnea may damage other brain structures that regulate memory and thinking.
The loss of oxygen and the constant struggle to breathe increase sleep apnea patients' risk of high blood pressure, stroke and other heart-related ailments.
The most common treatment and arguably the most consistently effective treatment for sleep apnea is the use of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device.
The sensations you describe certainly sound like they could be from sleep apnea, especially if your oxygen level has dropped really low. Without some testing it would be hard to say if these are panic attacks or apnea events. I had events much like you describe just occassionally for years before diagnosed with SA. I also noticed from time to time I would awaken abruptly in a coughing fit feeling like something had gone down the wrong pipe.
While shortness of breath is a symptom suffered by some, a sleep study is done generally for patients who suffer from a condition known as sleep apnea. During sleep apnea you have periods of no breathing which eventually wake you with a gasp for air. It is treated by wearing Bipap oxygen at bed time. Lastly, your Dr should be able to determine if this test is necessary for you :-) Good luck.
