Thank Marydean. I will make an appointment for Tuesday. Just wanted a bit of an idea of what to expect really. Its the unknowns that trigger my anxiety usually.
If you tend to feel anxious, it's better to get an appointment and get the specific info, that's the quickest route to alleviating that fear of the unknown. It might turn out to be something simple, just needs a different approach from a different kind of doctor. FWIW I've had several sleep studies done now, it's kind of like a cross between staying in a hospital and staying in a hotel, except with lots of sticky tape LOL. For kids, the parent can stay with them. My problem didn't turn out to be apnea, but reading about it beforehand there are a number of different treatment options, sometimes (for kids especially) it can even be as simple as getting allergies treated properly, makes all the swelling go down, then they're sleeping better and functioning better as well.
Anyway, let us know how you get on, I'm sure it might be of interest to other BB families too.
