Well, I got a call from the doctor's office today. when I sleep, I get 88% oxygen saturation only about 50% of the time and it's supposed to be 97% saturation 99% of the time.

It explains why I'm so damned tired and why I really like the oxygen at the dentist's office so much.

They said that they would give me oxygen. I asked why not a sleep study? Oxygen might help, but it's not going to solve the problem if I have sleep apnea. I'm still waiting to hear on everything, but it's distressing. I'm afraid to sleep now.

I read on a message board that people have strokes and heart attacks from sleep apnea. I don't want to die, so I'm scared til I get some help.
