sleep apnea test?
My doc wants me to have a sleep study done for sleep apnea, he suspects I have it, I don't think I do, but to rule it out, i will have it done--if my HMO covers it. Has anyone had one done in San Antonio and what is it like? I know they put electrodes all over you. How in the heck can you sleep like that?
yes, i know i have to do it, my doc has been right before, and that's what i pay him for, to keep me well. I have much to live for, namely 2 kids, 18and 4, and a Mom who lives with me and a sister and kids who need help from time to time. I hope i don't have it but if i do, at least they can catch it early.
if you have sleep apnea you will never know but if your doctor says so, do it . there are 3 test of which i took (nothing big believe me) the first test they put a box on your waist to register the impulses on a 24 hour basis.
the second test they put the same little machine for 5 hours at nightime only while you are sleeping it registers your apnea points.
and last and not least they had me go to the hospital and sleep 4 5 hours while they were registering my apnea.
but if you can cure it sweetheart do it know because it can get dangerous.
