Diagnosis trouble…?

I have been sleeping 10-14 hours a day. I am always sleepy and tired with no energy. I have alot of stress, deppression (maybe resulting from bad sleeping habits?) I have had alot of tests done, negative for anemia, sleep apnea, thyroids, etc. I have been tested for all the common things. Does anyone have an idea of what this could be? I have had this for about 2 years now.

Sleep Apnea, Bipolarism, and Fibromyalgia are all being tossed around and we need to find a place for a clear comprehensive diagnosis


www.cpap.com — This video is to help people understand the process that one typically goes through to get diagnosed with sleep apnea and also to find the pressure setting ideal for that patient. More videos can be seen at www.cpap.com.

My three year old niece was sent to a sleep clinic because sleep apnea was suspected. After the test the nurse told her mother she saw no signs of it. A few days later she received a call that she must come in April 9 to discuss some serious results. My niece has a heart murmur so we’re wondering if the test could have detected problems with her heat.

Late last year I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea, both Obstructive and Central. I was prescribed a VPAP, which was not in any way better than nothing.

I lost sleep for a month, and often woke up unable to breath. The last time I used it, I woke up gasping, disoriented, and with a severe headache, all of which went away after two hours of NOT USING the VPAP.

In general, I sleep fine (As fine as the father of seven month old twins can sleep!) I only went for the sleep study as a ten year follow up. Ten years ago they coached me on changing sleep positions and losing weight.

I have my 2nd sleep study tonight and I know they will hook me up to the machine for breathing but I am wondering how it went for other people. I am nervous about how the heck I will be able to sleep with this ‘top gun’ mask on.

Insomnia Diagnosis

If you find it difficult to go down asleep, or to sleep affirmatory through the night, then there’s a especially good chance who you’re going through from what i read in insomnia (or to be technical – insomnia sleep disorder). Insomnia tends to fall into two broad categories. If your sleeping problems tend to come and go and normally only last for a few days at a time then you are said to be suffering from transient insomnia.Insomnia Diagnosis

However, if your insomnia persists and last for more than just a few days, running literally into weeks, then your insomnia is classed as being permanent. As a general rule, women tend to suffer from insomnia more than men do, almost certainly as a result of the many hormonal changes which women experience. Additionally, a sedentary lifestyle, an underlying medical condition or the side effects of prescription medication can also increase the likelihood of insomnia and so the condition is also often seen as increasing with age.

Insomnia – the inability to fall asleep at night or to sleep soundly throughout the night – can be temporary or persistent and can have many causes. Insomnia that is temporary is frequently classified as transient. If insomnia lasts longer than a few days or even a few weeks, it usually will be classified as permanent.
