Deep sleep is not REM sleep.
They're two, completely different sleep stages. REM is a fairly light, active sleep. nrem 3/4 is deep sleep.

Thanks for mentioning this. That's good to know. There used to be lots of warnings about avoiding stuff when you get a pacemaker. The only people I knew personally who had pacemakers got them in the 80s, so I'm sure things have changed!anbr3 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 23, 2018 7:57 pmGlad to hear you got checked though and they found and treated your issue!! Even if you ever do need a pacemaker in the future, at least it's something treatable. Nowadays, pacemaker implantation is done under local anesthesia and you can go home usually the same day , or the day after at most. I'm 32 and 2 of my friends had to have pacemakers in their late 20s due to congenital heart issues. It doesn't effect their daily life a single bit! Anyways, thanks so much for your input and taking the time to reply.

Re: normal AHI but low oxygen??
The only thing I've heard of refraining from with a pacemaker is getting an MRI done. And the sole reason for that is because an MRI is a giant spinning magnet so having a metal object inside of you while being inside an MRI machine is a no-noSewTired wrote: ↑Sat Jun 23, 2018 8:22 pmThanks for mentioning this.

. Prior to an MRI, they go down a whole list of things: no certain types of heart stents, no jewelry, no hip replacements prior to a certain year when they used metal, etc etc. And even if you needed an MRI done and had a pacemaker, a lot of times a CT scan can alternatively be used. So the moral of this is: if you ever needed a pacemaker, you'll be fine 
Thanks again!
