I am not sure how to interpret that part about the 95th
percentile..what does that even mean? He didn't have the data
yet. I had said I had a little bit of air in my stomach so he
lowered the pressure. He has the information now and I have an
appointment in June for a follow-up. I kind of thought the #'s
were pretty good myself. The apneas were decreased for the
most part. Still some hypopneas and I'll ask him why when I go
in. I found out from the past sleep study record (at that
appointment)that I had 17 restless leg movements an hour
though. He saw that and ordered an ferritin level test. He says
that they have found that a low iron level can cause leg
movements. Darned if I am not anemic. I started taking Vitamin
C and iron. I'm up right now at 3 am because I keep coughing.
It's driving me crazy. I don't really have a cold...just something
in my throat. *sigh* Goodnight...hopefully, I can sleep
soon...been coughing since I went to bed at 10:30...
