Common Questions and Answers about Sleep apnea valium
sleep
I cannot seem to sleep through the night. I have been recently diagnosed with Fahr's. Yes, I know about the Parkinsonian symptoms. I have not been sleeping all night for about 3 years. I have been surviving on 200mg Tradazone at bedtime and a 1/2 a 5mg of valium for a lo-o-o-ng time. All I have outwardly is speech issues (slurred and I speak quickly) and have had for 10 yrs. Any ideas?? Paula 428. I am 61 yrs old.
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.
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.
My question is, what do his anesthesiologists need to know before he undergoes pituitary surgery with unconfirmed sleep apnea? I would like him to have a sleep study done before surgery. Would a sleep study be able to pinpoint the source of his apnea, such as whether it is central, obstructive or a cardio-pulmonary problem? His new endocrinologist said his symptoms are not typical of other pituitary patients. FYI, His tumor is not secreting hormones; he has hypopituitarism from mass effect.
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..
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?
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.
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.
To keep this simple, I was wondering that if I have sleep apnea, then why am I not that tired during the day? Sometimes I only sleep 6 hours or less, get up at 5am, have an hour commute each way and am on my feet for up to 11 hours a day without sitting down. Does this mean that it may be mild? I also have really healthy blood pressure (110 over 70 approx.
