So, last summer I got my diagnosis of symptomatic PVCs. I was given two kinds of medications, and really, I was doing much better. I had a couple weeks of very noticeable PVCs back at Easter time, but that passed with a little caffeine control.
In the past few weeks, however, I've noticed that most of my troubles have returned. No real PVCs I can feel, but I've got the total exhaustion, the weak wobbly legs, etc.
Went to the doctor last Friday. He believes that our course of action last year was correct, but that there's more to the story. He was right.
He sent me to the sleep clinic, where I spent last night. Sure enough--Sleep Apnea.
I did some net research, and many of my complaints cross over both of my conditions. Makes for some of those "chicken or the egg" questions. I go back to the clinic on Monday the 25th to spend another night and get set up with the mask--which I know very little about--but I'm sure I'll be learning quickly.
I read that people with this condition, after being successfully treated, are majorly surprised at how good "normal" really feels--not having experienced it for such a long time. Sounds good to me.
