Going for testing in 2 weeks a sleep study to see if I have sleep apnea . I have a lot of the symptoms and meet the criteria : and since I’ve had these symptoms my anxiety and my panic attacks have been much worse . From some research it seems sleep apnea can cause anxiety &amp; panic attacks and if you already have them like I did it can make them much worse . I’m currently in middle of increasing my Effexor dosage from 75mg to 112.5 then to 150 next week , as I noticed it has been helping a bit with me getting out again , but nowhere near out of the woods . I’ve read reports from others that their anxiety improved with the CPAP machine for sleep apnea but unsure if they had anxiety before the sleep apnea so curious if others have had similar results here ! Much appreciated ! 

Also if anyone has any tips I have to go sleep in the hospital overnight for this and have issues sleeping elsewhere besides my house . Planning to bring some lavander and peppermint essential oils but if anyone has any tips much appreciated !! Am anxious about going but I know it will help me !
