PN can mask other symptoms. Waking up all through the night is the number 1 symptom of sleep apnea, I know because I have it
"I would wake up hyperventilating from the heat stress"
Hyperventilating on awakening is a typical sleep apnea symptom as your body struggles to get air back from a blocked throat passage. Im not sure why you would hyperventilate because of PN affected ears ?
Good luck, hope whatever it is gets sorted soon as lack of sleep creates more burning and less sleep, a nasty cycle  |
Because of my heat intolerance I've had to keep the RT at 19C, but at that temp, if my face isn't covered while I sleep, my nose gets cold, and breathing through it keeps me awake. I've wondered, though, if getting less oxygen while sleeping could cause other problems.
