sleep apnea mayo clinic

I am over the moon excited that DH got a 5-10 day appointment at Mayo Clinic - Dec. 10. Anyone have any experiences on what to expect etc?

I'm in the same boat looking for a neurologist who doesn’t just go with their pet illness. I’m also considering going back to the Mayo. I went years ago when I barely had symptoms compared to now. They were helpful, but couldn’t pinpoint my problem. The best part of my visit was a full-day psych eval. I had had docs telling me for years that it was psychological.

My GP has read the info on Complex Sleep Apnea from the Mayo Clinic and other material on Pubmed and he feels I do have Complex Sleep Apnea; however, the two sleep doctors I have referred to don't think so. Apparently, from what my GP told me, there's still not many accredited sleep doctors that yet know much about Complex Sleep Apnea in my region. Do you have any suggestions?

Has anyone from the MS forum ever seek treatment for their MS at the Mayo Clinic? If so, how was your as your experience with physicians from the clinic? I am considering driving up to Mayo at some point if my neurologist in town can't definatively diagnosis me.

I have severe cronic daily pain, tears, anger.... Is it really Fibro?? Now been diagnosed with sleep apnea cause I keep falling asleep at bad and unusual times. My life is not the same, my childrens life is horrible because I hurt so much from head to ankles. I have little to large "knots" under my skin that hurt very badly when pressure is applied. Also double vision, tingling in hands and feet, and frequent urination... Shall I continue? I need help...

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea got my machine and humidifier. I have chronic sinus problems and since I have been using my machine my sinus problems have gotten worse do you have any ideas to what else I can do to help with less sinus congestion and infections.

I have just made an appointment for a full work up at the Mayo Clinic, does anyone know the tests involved and how much they charge? Thank you!

Has anybody here been to the neurology clinic at the Mayo or in their inpatient pain treatment program?

Back to the sleep study -- it's time to sort this out. And lack of sleep definitely leads to depression. Lyrica and opiates of any kind make my sleep issues worse. Ironically, so do sleep medicines. For me, it's because I have mixed sleep apnea, and they worsen either the central OR the obstructive sleep apnea. My central apnea is because of a visible lesion. So any sort of central nervous system depressant makes me wake up gasping because I just stop breathing.

Hello :-) Sleep apnea and sleep disturbances can be associated with chiari, from what I've read. I have it, but don't have the bipap or cpap yet. Ask your NL for a sleep study and you will find out for sure. It can be a dangerous condition, so you definitely want to catch it and fix it.

is this disease going to take my life in the next few years or am I headed for a lung transplant. Was diagnosed in July with this from The Mayo Clinic in Scotsdale, AZ and fron St Luke's Medical Center in Houston TX..I have a great team of doctors. Pulmo, Rheumy, Cardio, Sleep Apnea, Infectious Disease, Etc. They are saying this form is extremely rare as it is connective tissue variety and may be related to Sjogren's.

Next was a sleep study. That proved he had sleep apnea. He will need a C-PAP machine. But the cardiologist had talked about putting in a pacemaker. Pacemaker for A-Fib? CPAP machine for sleep apnea? Or is it one or the other? What does one thing have to do with the other? Or is there no connection?

obstructive sleep apnea, but more central or they say possible a complex sleep apnea. So, the causes are more neurologic related that physical obstruction. It is not that I WANT the diagnosis of MSA, but I guess I would like to know if it is more likely. I am a fairly young mother of two and I guess I would like to know if I should push the doctors to look harder into this.

I had that horribly b4 surgery...I couldn't sleep most nights. Thankfully, after surgery it has got much better..I get it here and there but nothing like b4. I would almost describe it as breath holding..when I wake up I feel like I have to get the breath out first b4 I can get some in. Definitely mention this to your Dr... Try finding a good neck position while you are sleeping (I can always feel the pressure working up in my head in a bad position).

I followed-up with him yesterday and he wants to do a sleep study. I have wondered before if I might have sleep apnea because I never really feel rested after even 9-10 hours of sleep and my hubby says that I do sometimes snore. Anyhow, I heard from a friend that sleep apnea can cause brain lesions. I googled it and sure enough....it CAN! And, it can be very dangerous. Even with being DX with lyme, I still have anxiety about lyme not being the cause of 20+ lesions.

Your body aches and headaches could be related to sleep apnea which causes you to sleep poorly. When you combine lack of sleep with anxiety, you are in for some very disconcerting symptoms - headaches, body aches, etc. Your GI woes may be caused by anxiety, which I feel you may have from your words. Have you considered that your troubles with SVT and its treatment may have triggered an anxiety problem that has yet to be addressed? Stomach troubles are often caused by anxiety.

stress echo, wearing an event monitor for a month, and an autonomic nervous system were normal . I was diagnosed with sleep apnea na Hashimotos. Sleep apnea is succesfully treated for 8 months now and Hashimotos does not require any medication yet. I have had some form of palpitations and flushing type sensations , including the electric current like feeling in the heart abdomen area for 4 years noe. They seem to come and go.

I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and received one of those machines. Shortly afterwards I lost my insurance so I no longer can afford to go to the clinic. I was told I awake 120x a minute and snore so loudly the walls move inward and outward (nurse agreed with my wife). It went well for about 2-3 weeks when I realized I was removing my tube in my sleep. This went on for awhile till I was let go from my job and no longer had insurance. I could no longer afford to deal with the clinic.

t know the extent of my problem yet. I am going to be going Mayo Clinic in MN. I am a police officer and I am really worried about not being able to go back to work. I don't have real severe headaches like some people do. I do have them but it is a dull pain that comes and goes. My big thing is getting my sleep apnea under control. I am not really sure what to expect. The main thing is I don't want to get worse. ???????

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!

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and Hashimotos thyroiditis. Sleep apnea is succesfully treated for 8 months now. Hashimotos does not require any medication yet. My exercise regiment includes weightlifting and 8 x 100 meter spints. Even though I feel really strong, my workouts seem to be constrained by the inability of the heart to keep up with my increased intensity when I run or pountage/repetions when I lift.

OMG yes, sleep apnea is pretty bad..it causes all sorts of problems. I use a cpap. My husband said it scared the snot out of him cause he would hear me actually stop breathing. You say you were diagnosed with sleep apnea, so do you a cpap or bipap? I use a cpap every night. If I don't? I can tell the difference. Does your neurologist know about the sleep apnea?

s been using one for 15 years now and there is no more snoring or sleep apnea. Sounds like you had a sleep study done?

I've not been to the Jacksonville Mayo or the MS clinic in Houston, I'm sorry about that. I have heard a lot of good things about the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas and Dr. Elliot Frohman who works there. I'm sure if you google his name you can find out much more than I can tell you about, here.
