Re: Sleep Apnea and Horrific Dreams

[Guest guest]

I have those terrible nightmares sometimes when I

don't wear my c-pap. I use to be really traumatized

when I woke up by the nightmares but now I am really

thankful that I do have them because it is like

natures way of saying, " hey, wake-up, something is

wrong, you are not breathing right! " So now that I

know they are cause from the apnea, I am not so

freaked out by them. People are different so some

folks who have bad dreams may not be experiencing an

apnea attack. I just know that those with sleep apnea

are more prone to night terrors and bad dreams if not

treated. It is great you are having a sleep study so

you will get a proper diagnosis. Bad dreams are not

fun at all!

I never had a sleep problem, before mold exposure, either. Went for

study & found out I have Narcolepsy(falling asleep while doing anything)

& sleep apnea(actually getting zero REM sleep)but, no reason for it!

I'm stubborn, I won't wear the CPAP cause I want to get to root of why

I have the apnea to begin with & the few times I did wear it, I ended

up w/bronchitis, think it was from the water in the machine for

humidification of the air.

Hope you're sleeping better!

I can relate but never was that bad. I did have horrible dreams though, evil

type and bad things happening to myself and family. After I found out what

was making me sick I would have nightmare about mold growing behind my walls

and in my closets. It was awful and caused me to be extremely anxious all day.

I would worry and obsecs about everything!!! I had the sleep study done and

do have a mild form of sleep apnea. Just started with the sleep machine this

week and so far am sleeping much better. Just a lot to do to get ready for

bed but no more snoring at all and only waking about once during the night.

Good luck!!

I've never had sleep apnea in the past, and always felt that I rested

well....UNTILL I was Exposed to MOULD and most certainly suffered a

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and that is when I began having such

Terrifiying Nightmares and even attaking my husband in our sleep. He

had to wake me before he had a black eye. I have since had about 8 or I

should say " we " have had about 8 episodes of really unbelievable

screaming ..and fits of rage loud enough to wake the neighbors. I go

for a sleep test and a nap test next week.
