I am in desperate need of a sleep study?

admin — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 00:04:55 +0000

Unfortunatly my insurance is crap and won’t cover it and I can not afford to pay 0-0 for one. Does anybody know of a sleep study center here in San Antonio that works off of a sliding scale fee or will work with me as far as a payment plan is concerned??

Sleep Apnea possible misdiagnosis?

admin — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 13:07:51 +0000

I just had a sleep study done at my local sleep center and the doctor diagnosed me with sleep apnea. I am having a little apprehension about this diagnosis because my symptoms do not match any of the normal symptoms. I have fatigue, difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, sleep walking and talking(the talking more frequent) and hallucinations while I am sleeping. The last symptom is almost like I am half asleep but I am conscious of my surroundings. For example, I was sleeping but I thought my puppy was laying on the bed with me but he clearly was not. I just wanted to know if anyone else has had my symptoms or even I would like your general input.

What is your personal experience with sleep apnea?

admin — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 00:50:21 +0000

At my doc’s request, I did a sleep study last week.

Doc called me today, said I have "severe sleep apnea."

I said, can’t I just lose weight? (I could lose 60 pounds before I get near "normal" sized.) He said it is "not enough" right now.

Got an appt to see him next week.

Anyone had any personal experience with this? Any advice comments or suggestions?

Is it really possible that recovering from cocaine abuse can cause narcolepsy?

admin — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 05:43:52 +0000

Im 18 years old and have around 2 1/2 years off drugs and alcohol, i was diagnosed with Hyper-somnia after taking a sleep study, which tells me that i sleep to much. I have also had doctors say i am borderline narcoleptic and after several trial and errors i was prescribed vyvanse which works wonders.

After searching for related sites or articles over cocaine abuse being linked to narcolepsy i could find nothing.

How significant is Sleep Apnea in regards to High Blood Pressure?

admin — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 15:36:51 +0000

I have tried a lot of things from reduced salt, to no salt to walking and working out and my blood pressure is still high – 140/xx (don’t remember the bottom number). I don’t want to take medication for it just yet. I want to get it down naturally.

I also found out I have sleep apnea, but still waiting for a sleep study for confirmation. So, just how significant could Sleep Apnea be in regards to High Blood Pressure?

How long do the effects of the herb valerian last ?

admin — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 15:41:22 +0000

I’ve been using valerian to improve my quality of sleep. I used it on a Thursday night and then had a sleep study friday night. I didn’t take the valerian friday but I’m wondering if it could alter results(heartbeat,etc).

Does insurance cover the cost of a CPAP machine?

admin — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 18:56:00 +0000

I need CPAP, I haven’t started yet. Does Blus cross cover the cost? They seem expensive. Thanks.
Id idn’t realize that I have to go to the sleep clinic again to determine the pressures etc. Is it the same torture as a regular sleep study?? That was rough, and I do not look forward to it.

Any ways to increase time spent in Rem Sleep?

admin — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 14:25:03 +0000

I have severe insomnia, I have difficulty falling asleep, and difficulty staying asleep. I had a sleep study done once, and I was informed that when I enter into the deeper stages of sleep (Rem and such) that for some reason I came right back out of them, sometimes coming fully awake. This seems to be part of the reason why I wake up, as I usually awake during dreams.

My question is, is there ANY possible way to keep my brain in the deeper stages of sleep? I have seen a sleep specialist, he basically just said " sucks to be you" and then added that I was too young to be prescribed sleep aids.
