I got the results from my sleep test today and was told that I stopped breathing 81 times during the night. They said for the amount of time I slept that averages to 14.3 times and hour i stopped breathing.. They also said that my oxygen leveel drpped to 85%. I asked how long you had to "stop breathing" in order for it to count and she said it was 10 seconds. She then went on to say for the 81 times that I stopped breathing it ranged from 10-21 seconds.
So now I go back in in a month and have to sleep there again and they will montior me with the mask on. They will start the air in the mask at 5 liters and if I still stop breathing they will increase it to 6 liters etc.....
Kind of weird to say it but "that is good news" that way hopefully i can figure out whhy I sleep so much. Just to give you an idea. Islept in on Saruday till 11:50am and then slept again from 3-6pm. I went to bed at 10pm Saturday night and slept till 2:00 Sunday afternoon (16 hours) So i get through the week of work ok and then just catch up on the weekends. I am jsut thankful I can work.
That is all from here time tomake some supper. Vonda
