SSRI induced hypnic jerks: A case series

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10461585/

New information. I started recording myself with an infrared camera recently, including timestamps on the video. I've been trying to correlate CSA events from the charts with the video that I record overnight. It's hard for me to do proper interpretation but I did notice something. I realized that I...

But ... that was when your sleep apnea was undiagnosed/untreated. I wonder how a slow taper would go while treated with CPAP. Tempting to repeat, indeed. I talked to my psychiatrist and explained this hypothesis to her. At first blush, she does not think that there could be any correlation but she'...

August 15th - Ramp: 5.0, EPR: off completely (not even Ramp), Pressure: 9.0, OA: 0.00, H :0.81, RERA: 0.12, CA: 4.62 - https://sleephq.com/public/31096d2d-41e4-49d1-80fb-614215287d69 I feel a bit more rested as compared to the last two days, without the machine. I suppose it does help with the obstr...

Any dry-nose? No. "empty nose syndrome" Those were the old days when ENTs weren't aware of the danger. They are now careful not to remove entire turbinates. Much appreciated. Doctors and medical schools have learned a lot over the years. And yet it feels like there's so much more left to learn! Che...

If you didn't like 3 cm drop for EPR you would hate PS that is larger than 3 cm and despite what gets said....ASV isn't the cure all for crappy sleep. There's no button or setting on any of these machines that guarantees to fix crappy sleep. Makes sense. Appreciate your thoughts! I gotta figure out...

Six turbinates "cut down" and his S-shaped septum straightened. Surgery on a Monday morning. Wore a mustache bandage to catch small amounts of blood drip. Didn't miss a minute of CPAP. Had the clips removed on Thursday morning. Went to lunch and shopping. Was careful about lifting anything heavy fo...

Did you know that using EPR creates a bilevel pressure situation? And you didn't like using EPR. That's really the main thing a bipap does....one pressure for inhale and one for exhale. Only thing is EPR is limited to a 3 cm pressure difference and a bipap has the ability to use a higher PS or pres...

@pugsy, I just watched https://youtu.be/dwCxGl3_7JQ?t=1226 where they talked about "anxiety" against the CPAP machine which then messes up the patient's sleep structure and quality because of the pressure during breathing out. I wonder if that might be a thing in my case, although I don't really fee...

I forgot to mention that last night I could not use the machine at all because I went for a run after work and my nose got really congested, runny, sneezing. Experienced allergy-like symptoms. I get this every now and then after a run. Not sure if it's something in the air or a non-alergic rhinitis ...

Ahh...that confounds the problem for sure. It's a well know problem in the Canadian health system....delays for specialists. It sure does. My wife is on the waiting list for the UBC sleep clinic for an unrelated problem to mine and she was told 6 - 18 months of waiting. Everything is like that. The...

You know I have been doing some thinking on your situation and I have come to the conclusion that if I were in your shoes I would be pushing for an in lab, attended by tech, sleep study just so we can know when you were asleep or not and more accurate flagging. Home studies don't do so great in ter...

I'll need to do the surgery (turbinate surgery) along with fixing the septum. Gramps had that done years ago. Not only did it make it easier to use CPAP, his daytime breathing is also healthier. Thank you for sharing that. I'll start collecting more information on this subject soon to try and gauge...

I think this is worth pointing out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aHlhnh0xG4 in case someone else is in the same boat as me Here are the relevant notes I took: * Deviated septum might cause allergic and non-allergic rhinitis and interfere with the ability to use PAP therapy * Deviated septum...
