Sleep Study results....
well the verdict is in from my sleep study. I do not have sleep apnea. I do however have nocturnal hypoxia. My Oxygen Saturation drops while I am sleeping. It dropped as low as 76% while I was having my study done. This is not a good thing. So now I have to wear 2 liters of oxygen at night while I sleep (or during the day in my case after I get off work). In one month the neurologist wants me to repeat the sleep study, but only looking at my O2 saturation this time. Since they don't know for sure what is causing the desat, I now have to have a full pulmonary workup along with a cardiology workup. I never realized I was so sick until now. I always thought I was healthy, just big.. This has been a real eye opener for me. March can't get here soon enough!!
