They called it "Light obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome". I have since found out that an RDI of greater than one per hour or ten per night is considered abnormal. My son has, since the sleep study complained of tingling in his hands and feet upon awakening in the AM as well as sore legs and pain in his arm. His neuro is suppose to be getting back to me on this. He also has epilepsy that's making it complicated to figure out which is seizure related and which is sleep disorder. What have they used to treat your son?
