Before I was diagnosed with sleep apnea I did nose surgery to reduce my turbine on my right side - apparently, I had 90% blockage! After the surgery, I have been diagnosed with mild overall sleep apnea (AHI 6.3, RDI 11.3) and moderate in REM and on the stomach (REM AHI 14.5, REM RDI 21.8, stomach AHI 11.9 , stomach RDI 18.5). I have had many complications from sleep apnea, even though it was mild such as:
- high blood pressure(especially my diastolic BP) - 160/110
- polycythemia
- respiratory acidosis
- erectile issues
- high blood lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides)
- high uric acid
Fast forward 2 months in therapy and second nose surgery on my left side, my blood pressure is around 135/78 - can be better, but it's improving(especially my diastolic BP is great!), my RBC are within range (hemoglobin and hematocrit are still a bit high, but getting down), uric acid normal, my cholesterol dropped 80 points and my triglycerides dropped about 50 points, and the little guy downstairs works much better
I feel much better overall, however, I sometimes have high-ish AHI, for example, if my AHI is > 2.5 I feel terrible and have a morning headache. I am posting some OSCAR charts, from 3 individual nights.
I would appreciate some help here!
