WADE DO YOU HAVE SLEEP APNEA??

Sorry for the bold title but i really hope this reaches Wade or the boys cuz while listening the last episode, Burnout, the symptoms Wade described reminded me exactly of my experience.

I have anxiety, controlled, and started having palpitations - MOSTLY WHILE RESTING and right about falling asleep. Went to a cardiology appointment and did an ECG and Holter - both fine with the exception of ONE supraventricular extrasystole - a premature beat that happened right when i felt palpitations.

Discovered, by many ways but diagnosed with a sleep study (polysomnography), that i had moderate sleep apnea. Started treatment and palpitations? Gone.

I’m 23 (21 when the symptoms started) and had no idea sleep apnea was so common and such a slow and dangerously threatening disease. YES! It can be anxiety, burnout, panic and anxiety attacks but it can also be due to low oxygen sats during sleep. Bigger problem? Anxiety does worsen it.

I’m a nursing student and in no way trying to diagnose anything but personally it was hell to go through it, I really hope Wade and anyone going through the same get the right treatment and that it passes smoothly.
