53 CA events in an hour? Never seen this before

RE: 53 CA events in an hour? Never seen this before
The first thing to remember is that we adjust therapy to treat trends, not exceptions. It's hard to know why you experienced this repeating loop of CA, however it is not uncommon in awake sleeping or other sleep disruption. This looks like a feedback loop of alternately hyperventilation and hypoventilation. As long as it remains rare, it is not something to worry about.

Thanks, I've called my sleep doctor and they've told me to come in Wednesday so they can have a look. What are they though? The only causes I can find behind multiple CA events all look terrifying. I don't believe there are only terrifying causes such as heart disease and stroke. I recently completed a 24 holter monitor test due to excessive ectopic beats but it came back fine.

Focus on the fact that the majority of the night was very good. We often see an increased rate of CA during periods of arousal, and in your case, all of this is after 9:00 AM if your clock is correct. I honestly an inclined to disregard this unless it becomes the norm rather than the exception.
