A member asked:
Had a sleep study. 99 episodes of arousal and woke many times in under 6 hours. no apnea nor hypopnea. why? what is going on? fixes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Arousals: Hard to say. No airway disturbances, just arousals. Reflux disease can irritate and awaken, as can chronic pain symptoms which disturb restful sleep. Fatigue and arousals may be signs of depression or anxiety. Fixes include careful diet and gerd meds, exercise, good sleep hygiene, and management of pain with appropriate meds.
