Common Questions and Answers about Sleep apnea rdi

sleep

Avatar m tn Your daytime sleepiness and depersonalization, nocturnal desaturation and an elevated respiratory disturbance index (RDI) are all consistent with the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea. The data does warrant your making a maximum effort to use the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device effectively. The diagnosis will be more certain if and when you are consistently able to use the CPAP effectively, with relief of symptoms.
Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar f tn It is important to rule out type of sleep apnea like Obstructive apnea, Central apnea and Mixed apnea. You need to undergo tests to rule out the type of apnea. Few of the tests include Apnea index, Apnea-hypopnea index, Respiratory disturbance index, Desaturation and Arousal index. It can be initially manged by supplemental oxygen. Nightmare disorder, or dream anxiety disorder, which is a sleep disorder characterized by frequent nightmares or vivid dreams.
612551 tn?1450022175 The pillow was found to be an effective and easily used treatment for mild (respiratory disturbance index [RDI] 5 to 19) and moderate (RDI 20 to 40) obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. In turn it helped to increase the REM stage of sleep and increased oxygen saturations. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn Hello, I am writing for my son who is 23, 170 lbs and was diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea about 4 years ago. He went off to college and had to come home after 3 years. Now, we are trying to get this resolved so he can go back and finish. Struggling and could really use some expertise. His first sleep study showed significant degree of obstructive respirations using PES tube (naso-esophageal pressure transducer).
Avatar m tn I had a sleep study in March 2018. 4.7 AHI and 18 RDI. Sleep doc said I didn't have sleep apnea, but noted my heavily scalloped tongue as a classic sign of sleep apnea. Large amount of RERAs as noted from the sleep chart: https://ibb.co/BnY3JcG I apparently have Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome given the RERAs. My sleep is not refreshing. I got a stomach bug February 1 and my stomach and GI tract have been all messed up since.
Avatar f tn I took it about 1-2 hrs before bedtime. I have sleep apnea (Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome to be more specific). I did not sleep. The handful of times I dozed, I literally jumped up heart racing unbelievably bad (way worse than anything I've ever had in the past with my sleep issue) because I thought not only was I completely stopping breathing but I literally after the first 2 kicks of it doing that that I would go to sleep and not wake up.
Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn I am trying to find a link to med given to me by the military that may have caused sleep apnea. a friend said he read that some of the shots given to us before we went to the persian gulf could cause sleep apnea.
Avatar m tn Someone suggested it to me on another sleep-related site. It is likely caused by my Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (sort of like sleep apnea, but instead of stopping breathing, your airway just narrows all night and wakes up) that wakes me up every 30-35 minutes all night long. The "cure" is usually a titrated BiPap machine that gets rid of my RERA's. Essentially, my body is going haywire from poor sleep.
Avatar m tn i was diagnosed with sleep apnea after sleep studies was done and i do not snore at all but i do snort from it
Avatar n tn I have sleep apnea and i been having sleep apnea about 13yrs. now i been on a c-pap machine for a long time now. i just found out that i have autonomic neuropathy.could this be why my legs are hurting at night. could sleep apnea have cause this.
Avatar m tn Oh, and I was apparently diagnosed with complex sleep apnea, although I went to two sleep studies and they found no signs of sleep apnea, but on the third sleep study they used a CPAP on me, and on pressures of 6 and up, I apparently showed signs of obstructive and central sleep apnea, labeling me as having complex sleep apnea. I tried to use the CPAP that I was given, but it makes me feel like I have the flu.
Avatar f tn 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..
Avatar n tn My husband was diagnosed with sleep apnea in spite of being muscular and trim. He has not been able to adjust to the cpap at all. Lately he has been exhausted, often headachy, feeling a bit light headed at times and over all unmotivated. He has been able to keep pushing through at work because he was raised on a farm where work is done regardless of how you feel. I recently learned that hypothyroidism can cause sleep apnea. Is this true? What step would you take next?
Avatar m tn So, you could have obstructive sleep apnea and this is diagnosed with a sleep study. As you wait for your evaluation, you could avoid taking alcohol and quit smoking and try to sleep on your side as this keeps the airways patent. If any nasal blocks try to keep them patent with OTC nasal decongestants. And aim for optimum weight with exercises or long walks. Good Luck. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn I forget the number, but a high percentage of patients with heart failure have sleep disordered breathing. If you have sleep apnea and have been physician-ordered to use CPAP, then you really need to do so.
Avatar n tn All the symptoms you describe and the high red blood cell count could be attributed to obstructive sleep apnea. I would question the validity of a sleep study that only lasted 3 hours, with you fighting “to stay asleep." You should definitely give the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device a fair trial. You also need to have further discussions with the sleep specialist, about his/her impressions of your symptoms.
