If I don't have sleep apnea why did I wake up in a panic and stood up immediately/gasping for air the other night? While waking up in a panic, gasping can be a symptom of Sleep Apnea, it can also be a symptom of *many* other things as well. Absolutely not being able to explain the cause does not me...

pAHI, peripheral arterial tone (PAT) apnea hypopnea index; pRDI, peripheral arterial tone respiratory disturbance index; analogous indeces for AHI and RDI. Indirectly measured via PAT instead directly measuring air movement. WatchPAT is coded as a type 4 home sleep test. The WatchPAT Home Sleep Apn...

You might make a case for some respiratory events if there was snoring present, but it appears than any snoring occured during wake or movement: https://i.imgur.com/N3JnTe9.jpg According to the Watchpat One I don't even have sleep apnea? I am trying to grasp all this. I just want an answer on why m...

So you had 6 desats in the first sleep study, and 9 desats in the second study.

Who told you you have sleep apnea?

Before I reply to the longer posts above, I will answer your question. The WatchPAT ONE home study shows RDI of 15.5. That is moderate sleep apnea.

Would this one work better than the current dreamstation I am trying to use? If by "working better" you mean easier for you to accept, use and commit to; then no it will work about the same. For the past year and a half, every few months you show up, post a new topic and then create a post similar ...

Every morning I wake up with deep circles under my eyes, frequent yawning during the day, dull headaches often, feeling fatigue/malaise like I have a flu virus, NEVER feel refreshed in the mornings, sometimes I randoml...

I regard the doctor's response concerning autoimmune disease to be entirely unsatisfactory. It may be true that you don't have an autoimmune disease, but you need further follow-up, preferably from a rheumatologist, before you can reach that conclusion with confidence. Hey, I finally had some time ...

Did your doctor follow up with you on the ANA tests? For example, did she/he ask you about joint pain, dry mouth or eyes, occasional white and blue tinges to the fingers, or fatigue exacerbated by exercise? Autoimmune diseases in the connective-tissue family sometimes can't be diagnosed fully via b...

Forgot that only your opinions matter. Sorry. Outie. Have fun. I have an innie. I will heed your warning on the usage of these nasal sprays. It could be worth the risk for the short term. I am more concerned about it giving me side effects like anxiety or worsening depression. I am not worried abou...

They did a nasal endoscopy and noticed it was very difficult to go up my right nostril, left was cramped as well. That's not a professional diagnosis. A common diagnosis might be something like "enlarged turbinates and/or a deviated septum and/or nasal polyps and/or inflamed turbinates." I regret g...

I have been suffering from fatigue since I believe 2018 when I started noticing feeling unwell and unrested. https://imgur.com/a/63xYgTc I went to several general doctors & had many blood tests taken. Last testing done late 2020. (Blood tests for anyone in...
