Just got home from my sleep study and I'm so nauseated that I can't even manage to take a much needed nap.
The glue they used to adhere the wires to my head, face and body was super stinky and I was told it contained ether.
I asked it anyone ever has any kind of negative reaction to it and was told "no" but I'm really starting to wonder if that's what's making me sick.
Ever since I woke up this morning I've had a horrid taste in my throat that can't be dislodged with toothpaste, mouthwash, Coke, mints or chewing gum. I'm assuming it's coming part and parcel with the upset stomach.
I'm sure it'll all go away on it's own by this evening but I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem as well.
Other than that the study went well, I was bad enough that they had to come in mid-way through the night and fit me with a mask.
Thanks to all of YOU and this site I went in educated and knowing what to ask for. I ended up with a nose pillow with room temp humidity and it really was so comfy (more so than the full nose mask).It took me probably an hour to get used to it enough to get back to sleep but slept well for the remaining 2 hours or so of the study.
Next step is to choose an CPAP provider and get back to them with the info.
I'm not looking forward to having a stranger in my overly crowded and cluttered bedroom but I've gotta do what I've gotta do. I'm sure they've seen worse. ;)
