New Evidence Shows Sleep Apnea Hurts Your Brain

So your doctor should be treating your sleep apnea immediately post-stroke to prevent the weaker blood flow from the disorder. My test in the hospital was a finger oximeter test that they said showed no sleep apnea. Totally false, all they had to do was ask my ex or me.  You are going to have to demand a sleep test since I'm sure your doctor will not have updated this as a stroke protocol for another 30 years.

Employing a measure rarely used in sleep apnea studies, researchers at the UCLA School of Nursing have uncovered evidence of what may be damaging the brain in people with the sleep disorder — weaker brain blood flow.

 

In the study, published in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS ONE, researchers measured blood flow in the brain using a non-invasive MRI procedure: the global blood volume and oxygen dependent (BOLD) signal. This method is usually used to observe brain activity.  Because previous research showed that poor regulation of blood in the brain might be a problem for people with sleep apnea, the researchers used the whole-brain BOLD signal to look at blood flow in individuals with and without obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
