I was wondering if anyone on here has sleep apnea and how do you feel when you have it ? The reason I ask is because I was wondering if I had sleep apnea a perfect example is: There are times when I will wake up gasping and choking and continuous coughing and my throat feels a bit rare and sore. Are these some symptoms for people with Sleep Apnea?
When I put my thumb on my radial pulse and push down and then my finger after it I can still feel a pulse even though I can closing the radial artery. Why is this? It does get much weaker but I can still feel it. Is this just the pulse coming from the ulnar artery? Is this a sign of aortic regurgitation? Or is this just something normal?
I have autoimmune disease.
When I am awake, my O2 level on the pulse oximeter is 96%-98%.
But when Im asleep it drops to 88-92%. If it drops that low, is it dangerous?
