I just had a sleep study that revealed bad sleep apnea. also it said that i had epileptic seizures in my brain. what does that mean?

Complicated question: Sleep apnea means that you stop breathing for periods of time while you sleep. Epileptic seizures mean that your brain activity goes through jolts that can cause movements in your body, loss of consciousness and behavioral changes. The most important thing is to ask your physician to carefully explain this to you without medical language. It's important that you get good treatment for both.

Must seek treatment: Often epilepsy and obstructive sleep apnea (osa) go hand in hand. Sleep problems are a double-edged sword; epilepsy disturbs sleep and sleep deprivation aggravates epilepsy. People who experience involuntary movement while they sleep tend to wake up tired and without energy in the morning. Deprivation of sleep over prolonged periods of time can cause cardiac arrhythmia, or irregular beating.

Not uncommon: Not uncommon situation. asleep seizures can cause sleep problems. Make sure your sleep doc explains the problems and recommends the next step.
