Sleep apnea nightmare

That was a horrible night for me i had my test done last night..all this wires i was tossing and turning took me long time to sleep plus i dream a doctor was chasing me with a big needle and i was running so glad to be home sweet home now i can sleep in my own bed..

Hi there

Wow, what an experience. Glad you are home and can get some real rest now

Take care

Thanks Joyce and i will.

take care

Get used to it, Joanne - that was mild, trust me!
Should something untoward happen while you're in hospital, you'll be much more "hooked up" and surrounded by lights and noise.
Empathy from all of us who've done the test, but - it was done to save your life potentially, you know?

Yes i know it was my first so i didnt no what to expect but am happy i did it and glad to be home .

thanks.

I hear you. When I was first hooked up I thought I was o.k. but I sleep on my stomach and turning was hard. I couldn't sleep and was quite frustrated. When all the wires came off the first thing I said was something to the effect of going home and getting some sleep also. Hey- it's over!

Yes exactly and i took yall adivce i had my doctor let me do it before i even went to see my bariatrix doctor so am ahead of the game ..

thanks .

I hear you!  The first time I had a sleep test done, it was after 3am before I really even got close to sleeping and they only got about 1.5 hrs of solid sleep to look at.  The next time (I didn't sleep long enough to show them proper results)  was better tho'  and the last time, it was a piece of cake.  I guess practice does make perfect.

Yes true the questionaire i filled out this morning ask how much sleep i got i really think it was only 1hour  but the nurse said she had enought data so thats good..

thanks

Hey Mo,

My friends father went for a sleep apnea test last week. The tech woke him up at 3am and told him they had enough info, he could go home. I personally thought that was kind of crazy. He got the results yesterday and he stops breathing 85 times per hour...................
I think they should have let him stay til 6 like they do for most people
