Relative to experiences with that form of headache and even seizure--after<br>pressing for a sleep apnea test which proved negative; I pursued the matter<br>further. First, the peak of headache was always at the deepest part of my<br>sleep, also when I was most likely lightheaded on awakening.<br><br>I insisted the doctors involved place a programable Oximeter on my wrist at<br>bedtime. Consequently, results indicated "a Lower Oxygen content in my<br>blood, during the REM stage of sleep."<br><br>Prescribed by using Oxygen for sleep, as well as puchasing an Oximeter or<br>two and using Oxygen when necessary. The matter resolved itself after over<br>a years use of Oxygen during sleep and has not needed to be used at that<br>point since. I also feel that part of the matters resolution was in age<br>and body change since entering Hospice for Pancreatic Cancer. "I get a<br>full nights sleep and am rested in the morning, except for the fatigue<br>initiated by the cancer.<br><br>irvkay312 Mentor<br>
