I have mentioned in some of my posts about the contribution to PCS symptoms that sleep apnea can bring. I was reading some more about SBD, Sleep Breathing Disorder, and found that the most common symptoms of undiagnosed Sleep Breathing Disorders are headaches and daytime fatigue.

Since both PCS and SBD have these symptoms, my concern is whether the concussion/mTBI has caused SBD which in turn causes the headaches and fatigue.

Many meds prescribed for PCS symptoms also cause insomnia etc. I think it is a worthwhile approach to try to determine if sleep/insomnia and SBD are contributing to these prolonged symptoms.

A good sleep specialist should be able to help with this issue.

Personally, I fought hard and long to get a full sleep study. By the time my private health care provider was willing to schedule a sleep study, I was switched to MediCare with SSDI and had to start the process all over again.

I hope others have better success at getting a sleep study.
