One of the tests I’ve done over the last couple weeks since being to the doctor for the first time in six years.\u00a0 Also known as when I lost my health care plan due to the advent of a little known Democrat initiative generally known as Obamacare.\u00a0 My old doctor has left to another clinic, and I was assigned a new Nurse Practitioner during that time.\u00a0 She checked me up and ordered a lot of tests.\u00a0 My earlier Stress Test was one of them.<\/p>\n
So…another one was a sleep test.\u00a0 They put a little sensor on my finger and I went to bed while it was monitoring my oxygen levels.\u00a0 I talked to her yesterday and found out that…yeah…I have an abnormal sleep pattern.\u00a0 Anybody who has ever spent time with me knows that I snore.\u00a0 Heck, I have dual tone snore.\u00a0 And the sensor picked up some crazy trends in my sleep pattern.\u00a0 They don’t like you going under oxygen levels of 90% in the blood.\u00a0 I was hitting levels in the 70% range.\u00a0 And I went below 90% 39 time on average per hour.\u00a0 They said that was like getting nudged every couple minutes.<\/p>\n
So, my being tired and able to sleep anywhere, anytime, is probably not so much a good thing.\u00a0 Lucky me.\u00a0 Next week they’re going to rig me up with a full chest rig to do a more full test and then we’ll find out what they are going to prescribe me to deal with the issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
