Vagus Nerve Effect on Heartbeat
Heart Rhythm Conditions | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (25)Comment receiving replies
I was awakening by fast heart beat. This led to series of tests. All looked normal, but sleep apnea was diagnosed. I was told the heart reacts to lack of oxigen caused by the apnea obstruction that interrupts breathing. Nine months later, I am trying yet another apnea mask -- number 5. The CPAP treatment is so disruptive to my sleep that I sometime think the fast heart periodically waking me is better.
Wishing you luck in finding answers. I will look forward to future posts to see what you find.
Thanks,
Dana

@dalebout123 Dana, you have been here for a while and have read and replied to many posts by people, including me. Forgive me, but I do the same and can't be sure you have seen my mentions of apneaboard.com. If you haven't, or if you're reluctant to go to that site for some reason, please do so...with my assurance that you will be welcomed and that you will find really good help there, including about masks. If you have done so, please disregard.
