It wouldn’t hurt to tell your sleep doc about these episodes. Hopefully during your poly study you will sleep at least some 1) on your back, and 2) with your hands at your sides. Otherwise, an oximetry study done at home would help since when you notice the tingling you could write down the time on a piece of paper and corroborate that time with oxygen desaturations discovered in oximetry data. Tingling limbs can also be a sign of anxiety. Good luck, Doug —–== Posted via Deja News, The Leader in Internet Discussion ==—– http://www.dejanews.com/ Now offering spam-free web-based newsreading

My ENT has given me a tentative diagnosis of OSA – sleep study scheduled next week. I occasionally wake up on my back with arms straight down my sides feeling like they’ve "gone to sleep", i.e. tingling. Goes away quickly. Could it be OSA-related; oxygen levels??? Otherwise, have all the standard symptoms and have enjoyed lurking here and realizing I’m not alone! Thanks, Steve Parvis

Sound advice. In my case, I had the tingling described, and it disapeared when I went on the CPAP.

Steve, The tingling could be related to OSA or to several other very serious conditions. Have you told your PCP and ENT and Sleep Doc about this symptom?

I wonder whether this has anything to do with the "perpheral vasoconstriction" in one of those recent papers, as a diagnostic for OSA? -djw In article <6irgg0$ip…@newsfep2.sprintmail.com>, – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text - sge…@rocketmail.com wrote: > er…@nospammindspring.com (eric pearson) wrote: > >Steve, > >The tingling could be related to OSA or to several other very serious > >conditions.

That "tingling" and "numbness" is what took me to the doc in the first place. Mine was so bad, I thought I had had a stroke and drove myself to a neurologist. He promptly told me I had not had a stroke, but had all the signs of severe sleep deprivation! (Wow, he actually suspected a sleep disorder!) Sleep apnea, never heard of that before! You bet it is related! Once on CPap, getting sufficient oxygen, you’ll see it disappear in no time! Good luck to you! Tracy
