Had sleep study , even more confused
Went In for a sleep study as I was waking up at night choking, loud snoring ( my ring camera caught it) I was stopping breathing, waking up with a sore throat , and feel extremely groggy like I’ve had no sleep all day after waking up.
The tech showed me after the study that I rarely leave stage two sleep . He says it was like my brain never shut off like it should into stage 3 and 4 . He did say I went into REM twice very briefly . The test of the test I was stuck at stage 2. He showed me an example of what normal stage two should lol like a d mine was the complete opposite . Instead of gentle waves, it was angry and all over the place . As for the apnea .. I can’t explain why it did not show up during the sleep study . My 02 did not drop under 90, and there was only mild apnea. Only ring camera at home I’m snoring like a chainsaw along with stopping breathing , gasping, and choking. Has anyone else experienced this? I’m frustrated because here at home in bed it’s happening, however in the study .. hardly at all. What could have caused such a shift? Anyone know why I would stay in stage 2 99 percent if the time? I do not drink alcohol.no drug use.
The only answer he could give me is that I am in chronic pain, which is true .. I have LDS type 2 and my pain is constant . Any advice I would greatly appreciate it!
