Alpha Wave Intrusions

Posted by Sadezi on June 27, 2002 at 12:24:32:

After going to a new sleep doctor today, I found out that I have Alpha Wave Intrusions in addition to the OSA. The first doctor never told me this, nor did he mention that I have bruxism as well.
Although I have a difficult time keeping the CPAP mask on for more than 2 - 3 hours, the new doc thinks this may be due to the Alpha Waves. I can find some info on what Alpha Wave Intrusions are, but here is my question: What is the long-term treatment? The doc prescribed Trazodonne and is ordering a lot of lab work - just wondering what anyone else has experienced with this.
Thanks for the input!
