Had my sleep study and sooo upset

Posted by jeninaz on April 12, 2006 at 18:56:59:

Im bummed. I had my sleep test last night and even though on any given night it takes me milliseconds to fall asleep, I couldnt sleep. At 2 am I finally took some tylenol sleep aid and fell asleep for about 2.5 hours but so lightly. When I woke up (on my own) at 5 am, the sleep tech said I didnt even snore. I ALWAYS snore!!!! I dont want to sound like I want to have sleep apnea, but it was the only thing that explains why I feel the way I feel and I so deperately wanted answers. I dont feel like the study is going to be even remotely accurate. I am 27 and although Im not seriously over weight I have gained 30 pounds in the last 2 years. I snore loudly, my husband says I stop breathing during the night then either sit up and say something (but never remember doing this) or gasp loudly. I now have high blood pressure that I have to take meds for but no family history of it. I hallucinate so frequently and wake up screaming that my daughter is now afraid to go to sleep at night because even though she is at the other end of the house, it wakes her up and scares her. Again, I never remember any of this. I wake up with severe headaches that sometimes last for days and I cant even begin to talk about how tired I always am. I've had MRI's, heart monitors, and no one can find anything. I swear Im not crazy! I feel so defeated and just dont know what to do next......
