nocturnal sz
Carolyn,
I spent years having nocturnal epileptic seizures caused by either consecutive TBI’s or lesions/cysts/cardiac arrest/etc. I am hypoxic all night due to the brain damage (brain regulatory problem not respiratory). I do not have sleep apnea, my brain is telling my lungs to saturate far to little oxygen at times.
Now that I have O2 as one of my meds, my sz are under control.
A fairly simple sleep study done at home (pulseoximetry) would tell you whether sleep apnea or hypoxia or?, were/are a problem for you.
Ambulatory EEG would be my next step
VEEG would be near my last step, however mine was done by the incompetent.
