vaneramosI finally received results from the sleep study. I have moderate sleep apnea. I had sufficient deep sleep and REM sleep during the study but stopped breathing on average 22 times per hour.
Now I have to go back for another sleep study to check the pressure for a CPAP machine, which I will bring home in May if I'm lucky. The sleep doctor also wants me to lose weight and use a saline rinse in my nose before bed.
I heard back from the stomach doctor last week and he recommended staying on the gluten-free diet because he is more concerned about looking at reflux issues. I didn't know what to make of that, but now that I have another sleep study booked two days before the gastroscopy, I'll take his advice. The sleep study is important so there's no point in making myself sick.
Many factors are pushing me toward regular exercise. Do you feel my enthusiasm?
