In reply to Why Do They PDocs Want Sleep Studies?, posted by Phillipa on February 23, 2005, at 20:03:36
I don't know about other things, but in addition to apnea, they might want to rule out Restless Leg Syndrome or Periodic Limb Movement Disorder. I had a sleep study done and it wasn't too bad (though my insurance did pay for it). I was told to bring my meds and proceed with my evening routine as closely to normal as possible. So I took my Ativan (which I was taking at bedtime at the time) and it was OK. I mean, I wouldn't want to do it every night, but it was OK.
