Haven't changed my diet or meds. I have 2 SCS and take percocet. When I have these spells, I'm (mentally, not physically) afraid of falling asleep because I'm afraid I will stop breathing. I'm assuming this is just really low blood pressure. Does that sound right? Anyone else relate to which I'm speaking of?

Thanks!!! Vanna

So sorry to read what you are having to endure.. My guess.. completely.. possibly sleep apenea????..as I have heard RSD can be related to that..possibly not getting your right rest due to invariable breathing and your body is needing more rest...Bad enough RSD takes all of our energy out of us as is..... plx. call your Dr. and spill this on them as we love ya here and don't want you to take any chances for anything else happening..We know our bodys the best and you should take good notes of your current symptoms and share with your Dr. first..then us to let us know you are okay!!!
