Another phase of my "what is wrong with my sinuses" has arrived . Tonight I am going for a sleep study. What is a sleep study you say? There are different sleep studies done but this is what mine will entail:
Polysomnogram. This test records several body functions during sleep, including brain activity, eye movement, oxygen and carbon dioxide blood levels, heart rate and rhythm, breathing rate and rhythm, the flow of air through your mouth and nose, snoring, body muscle movements, and chest and belly movement.
Someone suggested I take a camera with me and have them take a picture when they get me hooked up to all the "things". We will see about that.....
