anyone know more than the average joe about CENTRAL sleep apnea? (non snoring)?
June 24th, 2011
I feel when I dream for a long time I wake up feeling heavy and weak with a weak pulse but not like I have to breath rapidly but feel abit winded and well I’m not overweight.. completely lack the double chin they say a normal sleep apnea person usually has(or any slack inside or ourside your neck) I’ve had the sleep test waited 7 months. they said nothing happened, but they hooked me up with so many probes that I couldn’t possibly sleep deeply enough and it took me many hours to even get close to sleeping. had no dreams and woke up feeling really refreshed oddly more than normal.like all those stupid discomfort causing things attached to me caused a light sleep so that my sleep problem never occurred. ironically during the test to find out if I had it or not ugh. so noow I either have to reinroll into a test that doesn’t have the p roper environment to cause it or I keep suffering(its not every night but when I enter dream sleep) or sleep for more than 2 hours in darkness.
—>anyone know about central or other types of sleep apnea that don’t involve obstruction? <——–
or if you have another idea what could be obstructing it(I sleep on my back most times) but on my side lately so I haven’t been suffering from it as much. (ps I don’t have asthma)
Everyone has the same problem with the sleep test – they are bothered by the strange and different environment and so on. So the people doing the test know that and it is common. So in that sense, your situation is not that different from other people.
In central sleep apnea the brain does not send the correct signals to the muscles that control your breathing. Central sleep apnea is less common than obstructive sleep apnea, accounting for less than 5 percent of sleep apneas.
You don’t say how old you are, but many people who suffer from night terrors as children grow up to continue to have sleep problems as adults, so you might want to do a little investigating about your sleep history. Consider the possibility that you may be having night terrors or even sleep walking, both of which would mean disrupted sleep.
There are several different types of central sleep apnea. Check here.
