Sleep Apnea Blog

I made an exam (polysonomgram) where I slept in a clinic with loads of wires on my body and head. I got the results but havent gone to dcotor yet only next week. the exam says i had loads of apneas during the night. it says i had 5 central apneas, 47 mistas (mixed?) apneas. the longest was 39 seconds. i really feel asleep during the day and have fatigue. i wanted to know if that result is just a little apnea or if its a high level of it, which can cause damage(as it seems to do).

Your test results seem to indicate a fairly severe apnoea. Your doctor will give you whatever advice you need but from my nursing experience he is going to tell you to lose weight. Sleep apnoea is very rare in normal weight or underweight people.
