Hello. My name is Allison and I was diagnosed with Severe Complex Sleep Apnea last month after suffering from severe fatigue, daytime tiredness, poor sleep and my partner complaining about my snoring and then videoing me sleeping to show how bad it was. I saw I was more than snoring; I was struggling to breath and stopped breathing. Fortunately I got into the sleep study within a few weeks and they called me back for an appointment to review the results right away. My Sleep study revealed my AHI was 85.1 events/hour. My oxygen desaturations dropped to a low of 63% with 12.8% of the total sleep time spent with oxygen saturation of less than 90%. I had zero slow wave sleep and 96% of my sleep was N2. I'm going back in a week or so for her to read the results for the month and convert me to a Bi-PAP and then to do another overnight study with the machine. I am relieved to get the diagnosis because it explains why I'm so tired all the time and I've been struggling with memory loss and deminished cognitive skills which prevents me from doing many functions of my job. I've been doing a lot of reading on complex sleep apnea and there is a lot to comprehend. Its nice to find this site and hopefully be able to talk with others experiencing this disease.
