hypotension with sleep apnea, atrial fib, somnolence, CAD
by pcataldi, Jul 16, 2009 02:46AM
My husband has had a hear condition since 1989. He is lately experiencing somnolence to the point of not being able to stay awake without feeling tired. He also has sleep apnea which is going untreated. He has tried the c-PAP with vaporizer and still is unable to sleep with the unit. He c/o of the cold air waking him up and not being able to get back to sleep. Two years ago he developed atrial fibrillation, he now has a pacemaker and a mirad of medications. I don't know what to do to help him. He has a fine doctor, Dr. Arani, in Buffalo, however, his being exhausted has not been addressed. Can you help? I can list the meds for you if you need. I don't have access to them at this time, though.

It was a wake up call. he maybe can see a sleep doc that deals with Sleep Apnea cause if he don't get a handle of this he going to be in great trouble with health issue.
