Sleep study to diagnose sleep seizures?
Hello all,
still looking for answers. Had a sleep study done two weeks ago, very mild sleep apnea was prescribed 9.0cm pressure, but it did not address my main concern of jerking awake at the moment of sleep. I also get a gross, cold, sick feeling, with a mild adrenaline spike every time I am about to slip into sleep.
My question is this - could a sleep study diagnose sleep seizures? When I spoke to the sleep tech, he claimed that the 'frequency/channels' they run are 3 times slower than a neurologist uses, and that they have far less electrodes hooked up than a neurologist.
One reason I did the sleep study was to see if my problem was not sleep apnea related - In general, do sleep studies test or allow for signs of sleep seizure to show up?
Thanks,
Matt
