Ive been having a symptom for the past couple of months that’s been making me feel quite miserable and I’m losing sleep from it.
Before bed, ill take all my medication and such. Ill feel SO tired and hop into bed. I feel ok- i think. Ill start to fall asleep until about 10-15 min later ill feel a big body twitch and ill wake up. Then i realize i feel very deoxygenated. Like my body is just not well nourished for oxygen. So, ill get up and take a puff of albuterol. I can feel it helping just enough so ill lay down again. The jitteriness from that medication causes me to stay awake a bit longer. Then, the entire cycle repeats ALL over again. Before long, ill need to do a nebulizer treatment of albuterol. Which causes me to dreadfully stay up hours longer. Finally i fall asleep.
This dance has been so unpleasant and has been happening for months.
Is this a sign i need oxygen? I will ask my doctor. Ive done experiments laying down with a pulse ox and it goes down to 92 like clockwork everytime I’m supine.
Any thoughts? Thanks for reading!
