Narcolepsy And Sleep Apnea
Narcolepsy And Sleep Apnea
How many of you have had a sleep study after being diagnosed with narcolepsy? Narcolepsy and Sleep Apnea are very closely related and if you haven't had a sleep study to check for sleep apnea I definitely suggest it. Having my sleep apnea machine has greatly reduced my narcolepsy episodes. Maybe it can work for you? Hugs

I have hàd sleep studies, but I was told afterwards that I didn't need the machine reason being I don't stop breathing when I'm asleep.

Thank you for sharing this. I recently did the home test for sleep apnea. The dr said i have it. Im scheduled to get a machine but I have to pay $390 up front and I've been hesitant because I'm not sure it will help. Your story had me rethinking.
