I'm scheduled for a sleep apnea test Friday night.

I had one about 5 years ago and what I was told is that I didn't sleep enough to get a good reading.

I go to be around 8 to 10 every night due to falling asleep while watching tv but I end up getting up all hours of the night going to the bathroom. I won't be drinking any liquids for sure.

I just worry that things will go the same way again. I wake up about every two hours.

Have any of you had this test and did you sleep thru the night?

Thanks,
Ada

Dreambeliever,

I have had two first time I only got 2 hrs sleep and then went back to sleep for 2 hrs they were able to make that work. But still wanted me back this time they let me have warm milk and watch TV till 11pm you might want to ask. The first was during the day. the next time was at night much better.

good luck. peggann

HI Ada, I have mine scheduled tomorrownight. I think I actually just have chronic fatique syndrome, maybe even low O2 from asthma.....but test will let me know I suppose. I have begun snoring the last two years.

I am jsut getting over a bronchitis and laryngitis the last 2 weeks. the back of my throat still feels sore. But, they said as long as my nose is not stuffy I am OK.
LEt you know how it goes tomorrow. Told me bring something comfy to sleep in, and can watch cable TV until I am tired,

Hi Dianne! Nice to meet ya by the way. hey, don't mean to get off topic here, but ""Please set your mamo up soon" This and RSD, children, and the elderly are my passion. The reason I say this is 3 of my sisters were all diag. with breast cancer (a lot of times 8 out of 10, is non cancer) well my sisters all got the cancer. My one sister's was caught early, she only needed radiation, but looked like she had a bad sun burn. Now, my older two, had surgeries, ports put in for the chemo, lost all their hair, and radiation and I am so HAPPY to say that they are cancer free.. 1 for 4 years.. the other.. 41/2 yrs. Anyway, as far as the sleep appa. My husband had snoring, and he would actually stop breathing in his sleep. I was afraid to go to sleep thinking, he could die. I had to give him a hard jolt with my arm to wake him up and tell him to roll on his right side. he scared the ba-jeebies outta me! He is fine now, has the sleep appa. machine and all. I am wishing ya all the best of luck. This is controllable!! Love, Desi
