I have been diagnosed since 1984. Over the past few years I haven’t been getting enough sleep. My 1st sleep study showed that during REM sleep my oxygen level drops to 65% 4 times each lasting longer than 10 minutes. I just finished a sleep study at Stanford which will take 3 weeks to complete. My pulmonologist has me on a BIPAP with a face mask.

‘Just wondering if anyone else has had oxygen problems?

Good advisor

I too wear a bi-pap. I wonder also if it's MS related. I'm thinking probably.

@NewLeaf I do think it is MS related. Just completed two sleep studies one at home and at the Stanford sleep center. It seems that during REM sleep my O2 level drops to 65% for greater than 10 minutes. My mask leaked ah little last night and I woke dead tired

Good advisor

@richjh I went from 72 episodes per hour to 2 episodes per hour at the most. Love my Bi-pap.
