Sleep test

[Loopy]

Back in April I picked up a sleep kit that I wore for the night. The results came back that I stopped breathing a couple times and my oxygen dropped to 88% one time. 
 

The kit wasn’t designed to figure out if one had sleep apnea or not so…

 

I went to the hospital last night to do a sleep study. Good grief, they put sticky patches wires) everywhere plus had 2 belts put around me. One to check how the chests rises and falls and one around the abdomen (?). 
 

Felt like Frankenstein coming to life, when the nurse was taking all the patches and wires off. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

 

Anyway, what started all this was I questioned something on my bloodwork. The doctor said it was a symptom of sleep apnea,

I’m trying to figure out why even tho I sleep well at night, I still feel exhausted when I wake up.  
 

I’m sure I’m not the only one who has had to go thru something like this to get answers.

Sorry for the long post.

I've had one of those sleep tests - thought they would never quit attaching wires. Makes it a bit difficult to go to the restroom in the middle of the night

o yes that was the only question I felt a REAL need to ask 🤣🤣🤣🤣

 

They had the room set up with an intercom & the nurse said just speak loud enough for me to hear and I’ll come and unhook you.

 

she just had a couple things to unplug and I dragged 🤣🤣🤣 the rest with me. 
 

it’s gonna be a long 2 weeks to wait for the results.
