Basically, I think the reason that I'm tired all the time is that I am an inveterate night owl who works a day job. I did a sleep study about 17 years ago because I was always tired - the results were clear that I didn't have apnea at the time. The cardiologist recommended I get a sleep study because he thinks I have sleep apnea: I'm overweight, I'm tired, and all these hypertension drugs are giving me edema in my lower legs and ankles (even the ones that aren't "supposed to"). So, I gave in and went to the doctor and have spent the last year working through the various drugs on the market, all of which are making me miserable. The tl dr version is: is there someone who can read data from an ApneaLink Air device and confirm my ideas about my diagnosis, or is there a way to use the SleepyHead software to read it?Ī year ago, after my dad suffered an aortic dissection, we discovered that it runs in the family and that pretty much everyone in the family has primary hypertension and suffers a terrible cardiac event in their 60s (dissection, aneurysm, etc) as a result. Okay, I apologize in advance for the long email, but my issue is rather complicated.
