Partial Sleep Apnea?

Posted By Cathy  on March 27, 1999 at 09:29:06:







I have recently had a sleep study and a nap study.  Since I have not had a consult with the doctor
yet I am curious as to something that the Tech said.  She stated that I had sleep apnea but I didn't.
She said that at times during the night I did and others I didn't.  She classified it as moderate and
recommended that I stay for the nap study.  It's was not bad enough to require being put on CPAP during
the night.  My question is:  What is the probable course of treatment for
someone who is having sleep apnea at times?  My children say that I awake them snoring at times and
at other times that I do not snore at all.  Why would this happen?  I have a seizure disorder or it could be
epilepsy and am also hypothyroid.  Could this all be linked with the sleep apnea?  I do know that they did
bloodwork checking for thyroid problems before the sleep study.  Why?  Thank you.
