Last night my husband went to do a sleep study. It was a split study. Half the night just monitor normal sleep, second half montior him on a cpap machine. He was fine until they put him on the cpap machine - he tryed two different types of masks - one full face - one nose pillows. For the first time in his life (42 years old) he had a panic attack. It was really bad, he freaked out so bad they had to stop the study and calm him down.
My question is - If he cannot use a cpap due to these panic attacks what are his options? He had what they call episodes during normal sleep - 26 episodes per hour. Thats alot - I had 14 and now have the cpap. I am realy worried about him and want to give him som peace of mind that there is an alternative out there. Can anyone help me? Thanks for your time! I really apperciate it!
