we went to the doctor today. Jerry started the day at 139.. in doctors office he was 42. so he had a rough start. The glucowatch wasnt an issue,she wasnt really hyped about it so we dropped it for now and will discuss with the endocrinologist. but the doctor believes jerry might be suffering from depression. she doubled his paxil! from 30mg to 60mg. I am not so sure about this. She also was on board about the sleep apnea and ordered a sleep study. so we will await the appt to be made. Researching sleep apnea , different things can be affected by it such as pain, blood glucose, can be from diseases of the central nervous system. it can cause high blood pressure, daytime drowsiness, morning headaches, personality changes heart failure/enlargement and snoring. I am hoping that they can fit him with a Cpap that will allow him to get a good rest. I know now ((HIND SIGHT)) all those times I was watching him make faces in his sleep he was having issues! and then the ER visit , he kept setting off the telemtry with holding his breath in his sleep.
