See answers below...
You didn't expressly say it, but I presume you must be feeling poorly during the day. Having sleep related issues, here are some things to consider:
Any depression or anxiety? No real change there, job is in most ways better then ever.
Start or stop any new meds lately? Nothing new
New foods or diet or times of meals and snacks? Times consistent, nothing new, just better portions and healthier
Change in exercise pattern? More, I have to keep up with my GF, shes 10y younger then me
Any injuries or change in bodily function or condition lately? No injuries, bodily functions? See my prostate entries for that, but its been better lately, wonder why?
New matters,people or things in your life? GF, its hard to juggle, i dont know how busa does it, im an FOG you would think I could do it better now then a green young man!
New issues or problems? HAH! See above......
Going to sleep at the same time, in the same place, with the same rituals? Same time, usually, same place, rarely, same rituals, yes, brush, read and bed.
Unless you sleep with someone else, you likely cannot assess whether you have apnea.Most people don't without the aid of another...Only at home
Is this stressing you out immediately each time it happens? Vicous circle? Yes I would say a bit, then i settle down as i know its not good
Once you realize it happens, get out of bed and go to another room to read or watch TV or do something relaxing- don't do work or pay bills or the like. Read a book or magazin or newspaper or something.
Napping during the day? Everytime I get on a plane i sleep, outside of that its poor form to sleep when i'm driving!
Don't rule in or rule out sleep apnea on your own- get a sleep test- both neurologists and pulmonologists run clinics that do them. May also want o consider a drowsiness test immediately following the sleep test. yup i think its time again...
Have you been urinating more lately- if so, diabetes or thyroid problems/full blood work-up to rule out other causes. No more then usual
Do you know what is in the over-the counters. Don't Presume they are safer than RX. Thats true, cardio has approved them all for me since I have a fake heart valve so I checked with him,
I know the real answer is go back and see doctors but its always fun to hear from all you guys as some us suffer the same.
Thanks!!
Honestly I'm not that much of a cad, i've known this woman for a long time, she plays on the same team I do, girls, yes she is gay and commited as am I. We have had some somewhat intimate moments but if I was asked by my wife I'd tell her (she knows her too) work really is most likely the issue, we both work for the same company but a thousand miles apart and we have recently relized how much we genuinely like and care for each other and are pushing each other in regards to health, exercise etc to be better for our mates. All the excitment but without the guilt! I love it. But work has had a major change and we both have a real need to help each other through these changes, we want to be the survivors. We have invested a lot of time, sweat and life into this and we want to see our work through to fruition.
I really like the concern you/I all have for each other on many issues, great S/Botls here!
