Sleep disturbance treatment

[verytired]

I went for a sleep study and the Dr. said that I have a sleep disturbance. My breathing becomes shallow and I wake up 5 times per hour. Since I wake up and don't actually get to the point where I stop breathing, they do not recommend the sleep mask. I do not understand why. I would think that the oxygen would prevent the shallow breathing and, as a result, the waking up. Instead, the Dr. recommends a nasal spray and sleeping on my side. As someone who has been tired for my entire life, I have already tried that and just about everything else. Does anyone else have this condition (sleep disturbance but not sleep apnea) and if you do, what are you doing to treat it?

I'm not sure I can answer your question, but do want to point out that Cpap does not use oxygen, just room air pumped in a focused way at a pressure higher than regular breathing so it keeps your airway more opened up. That's the mechanical side of Cpap, but if you feel your doctor is wrong about his diagnosis, then you could always go to another one. What I do suggest is that you go to the lightbulb at the top of the home page here and start reading, including the links, to understand what sleep apnea is (and what it isn't) and the same for Cpap.

Very Tired,
Do you have any statisics from your sleep study, like:
AHI
RDI
Nadir
REM AHI
REM RDI

If not, request a copy of your report or dictation. Another opinion may be in order as well.

yes, you should get your sleep study results..

So you just arent sleeping thru your shallow breathing, its so uncomfortable for you, you wake up, and your sleeping is disturbed..

I can see that would make you very tired too, you ARE being disturbed a lot..

Perhaps you have the beginnings of apnea, perhaps many of us started this way.. and it just got worse..

Get your study results, and read all about the sleep study terminology so you can understand it all..

Im sorry you are having trouble with the doctor "getting it" that you arent getting the rest you need..

perhaps also you didnt sleep as you would have at home, so the results are a bit skewed.. Maybe you were hyper aware because of the
strange environment, so you never slept thru any of your shallow breathing episodes..

Thanks for your replies. I asked the Dr if I could try the cpap to see if it would prevent the wakeups and she said ok! The resporitory specialist will call to schedule an appt. and they will give me a loaner cpap to try out.
