Sleep disorders
Being with +Leanne Edwards has been wonderful for my anxiety disorders. Been flashing back on my panic attacks from the past. Sometimes it feels like a lifetime ago. I'm grateful to God I no longer have them. I keep getting better and better. Next on my health to-do list is dealing with my sleep disorders. I've been diagnosed with sleep apnea (moderate form) and parasomnias. A few weeks ago I went for a sleep study to get this diagnosis. In a few weeks (night of March 31st to morning of April 1) I go for a CPAP titration test where I will sleep, wired up to a machine for monitoring purposes AND wearing a mask that has preset oxygen levels pumped through that will be increased incrementally. I hope to solve my sleep problems in a very short time but will try to avoid using benzos to treat the sleep apnea. I"m nervous about having oxygen forced into my lungs like this because I tried it during the sleep study and it was scary. I'm going to google more about the CPAP titration test and see if I can find a way to relax during this test. Suggestions from those reading this will be appreciated.
