@TheresaS .. I do have a sleep specialist I see every 3 months. I am taking Nuvigil 250mg for my Narcolepsy but I am trying to find a dentist to help with getting a dental appliance for my sleep apnea. I have had too many sleep studies done over the past 8-9 years but I dread having them done since I have to have both the night and day study done at the same visit lol. My sleep specialist had went over the results with me and said the total apnea/hypopnea index was 6.7 events per hour, during the study I had 46 episodes of apnea/hypopnea with 4% oxygen desaturations or greater. The mean length of the episodes were 31.8 seconds and the longest was 86.0 seconds. I went into deep sleep within 23-24 minutes. my doctor says it is a mild sleep apnea.
Hello, my name is Brittany. I'm 23 yrs old. I have a 3 year old who turns 4 next month. Her name is Lexi. I have both mild OSA and Narcolepsy. I've been diagnosed with Narcolepsy since I was 15 yrs old and then diagnosed with mild OSA about 2-3 yrs ago. When I was 18, I was put in the hospital with Pneumonia for a week where they discovered, after testing was done of course, I had Wolff-Parkinson White Syndrome( an extra electrical pathway in my heart that causes extra heartbeats). My heart-rate in the hospital at that moment went as high as 152 bpm. I did have heart surgery to correct it but the doctors had told me I had to have been born with it. I have no idea as to how I developed OSA due to the fact I am not overweight nor do I have Diabetes. I also had my tonsils out when I was 2-3 yrs old and my neck circumference is at 12 inches. So I am clueless.
