I had a sleep study 5 years ago and was told I didn't have sleep apnea. My neurologist noticed that I barely fell asleep (which I had mentioned to the person administering the test at the time) and ordered a new one.
So this time most of my results are borderline. My Apnea and Hypopnea per hour are 12.5 which is "mild" per my understanding.
I just got my results online and haven't talked to my sleep doctor yet.
However my number for Apnea and Hypopnea per hour during REM sleep is 45.3. My lowest SpO2% Rem sleep time is 82%. So from what I am interepreting I am suffocating during my REM sleep. This would explain why I sometimes wake up during the night headache free, go back to sleep and wake up with a horrible migraine a couple of hours later.
My Desaturation per hour>=4% is 11.6%. I don't know what this is? Is this how low my oxygen level is getting?
Will I get prescribed a cpap?
I am so scared I won't but this not getting enough oxygen during REM sleep has to be a problem.
