Laying on left side causes SpO2 drops and symptoms

Post by WarpedTrekker » Thu Oct 10, 2019 12:09 pm

I've been noticing some high tital volume events at night. They correspond with an SpO2 drop with no apnea. Also I've had two mornings, where I wake up feeling "unusual" and unusually tired with a hint of anxiety. I'm on med's for anxiety and panic disorder. But this didn't feel like anxiety. I called my psychiatrist who deferred me to my primary care doctor. He ordered blood work. In the meantime, I'm wondering if these SpO2 drops with no apnea have something to do with these symptoms or something else going on.
