Does apnea cause diffuse whole body pain
#1
Does apnea cause diffuse whole body pain
Ive been diagnosed with low moderate apnea. AHI 16.5. Ive been waking up at night where my whole body is hurting. I toss and turn a while, do some self massage, deep breathe and the hurt dissipates. I go back to sleep only to wake up later in the night with the same diffuse, whole body pain. It doesnt happen every night however. Im not on CPAP yet, but soon to be. I was just prescribed to receive PAP. Im just curious if apnea can cause such pain or if its all musculo-skeletal in origin. I am 75 after all and lived an active life that has contributed to some osteoarthritis. Im just "turning over rocks" to try and figure this out. Anyone here experienced something similar?
thanks
Pokey

RE: Does apnea cause diffuse whole body pain
I don't believe the pain is sleep apnea induced. Look more at the osteoarthritis. You might see if the pain correlates to changes in your local weather. I can predict when it is going to rain without seeing a weather report.
