hi everyone im new here but have been reading for a while . I am 48 year old male .it started about a year ago noticed my calves slightly twitching and noticed some pains here and there throughout my body.the worrisome part was my twitching began to really get bad in my calves and I was having these episodes in my sleep. I had been diagnosed with mild osa a couple years back but they told me if I lost 10 pounds I would be ok.time went on and I just didn't feel good my doctor did a lot of testing from head to toe you name it ive pretty much had al the tests.nothing showed up out of the ordinary.only a few things a 48 year old male could have.i kept having these sleep apneas or spells that seemed quite weird to the point when I would dose off I would sort of snore or grunt very loudly and went back to the sleep clinic where they said my apnea is now severe 40 stoppages per minute found that very odd with no weight increase.i had a few trips to emerge trying to explain to them my throat was collapsing when I fell asleep.they said I had a anxiety or panic disorder every time.i have gotten a cpap machine which helps but I even have issues with these weird sleep disorders usually on wake up.if I take a sleeping pill to induce a deeper sleep I seem to be ok.I have a feeling of weakness in my left hand and left foot and left foot has some pain. I have a feeling of a different swallow but have not choked on any food .it feels like my plegm is stuck in the back of my throat and my neck muscles seem fatigued.I have had mri brain and spine clean and a clean emg on left leg right leg and left arm did not do throat.ear nose and throat said I had acid reflux and I see sleep doctor tomorrow and sleep neuro Thursday .I will post updated results from them. any comments would be appretiated thanks
