So for some years now i have had episodes where i wake up feeling anxious/outofit, and with a fast heartbeat. I thought it made sense to check for sleep apnea Results: The doctor said its completely normal, but as far as I understand 5 apneas per hour is considered mild sleep apnea, and I think its weird my average oxygen saturation has dropped to 94 % from 98 % in the span of three years too (deconditioning?). Should be noted that when i get tachycardia episodes after the apneas the oxygen saturation increase to 100 %. I know a lot of ME-patients get sleep apnea. What does it tell us? Something going on with the nervous system? I find it really weird.. Im 29 years old, not overweight, and i stop to breathe in my sleep 5 times an hour a night. How is that normal? Sorry im a little frustrated in how everything is just brushed off Anyone else with apnea events?
I started having medium, not mild, sleep apnea maybe a year prior to the point of no return of my MECFS. I hadn’t had any apnea prior to this. I got a CPAP machine but I didn’t feel any better after using it, so I stopped using it. I believe the underlying MECFS causes the sleep disturbances, not the other way around. BTW, why are your results in English, and not in Norwegian?
Yea that seems like a feasible explanation doesn`t it? Lol i wondered about that too, but at least it was convenient for sharing them here
