Have you had a sleep study done? I had fairly sudden onset of these symptoms...but it turns out my sleep apnea had been getting progressively worse until the point it was impacting the cleaning cycle by brain goes through. A few weeks on the cpap machine and it's like I'm 20 years younger again.
My husband just got diagnosed with mild sleep apnea after a few years of feeling really slow. I don’t know what’s taking so long but the doc is still processing something so he can get his cpap. I can’t wait to see if/how it helps him.
Mine was a nightmare to get... local HME that my in-network pulmonologist was tied to was out-of-network, had to find a place that was in-network then teach my pulminologist how to send an email... took like 10 times, had to get patient advocate involved, was a huge pain. Finally got it though, and it was worth it, just gotta keep hounding them.
I should really do this
I absolutely recommend it; my BP dropped, my heart rate dropped on average 15bpm, middle of the night panic attacks have dwindled to almost zero, it's well worth it.
