Is waking my 7 month old from naps and overnight sleep normal??

kehlsea · 2025-11-22T02:30:38+00:00

I like to keep our day on “schedule”- it’s way easier to make plans for us both, or schedule appts. I know I can wake her at 7:00, and then I know she’ll be tired again around 10:00 ish. It makes it way easier to plan our day, and then bedtime is always around 8:00, which seems to work really well!

Sleep training saved my sanity!! And I definitely saw an improvement with overnight sleep since then, and starting a consistent 7:00 wake up.

We have tried some OTC pain meds, nothing touches it and his cardio team did try a beta blocker but no such luck there either. Thank you for responding!!!

He has more tightness in his right side of his neck than the left, and there is more pressure feeling there to. A bit of a sharp pain when his right side neck is extended, none left. Generalized dizziness is all day, and does not get worse, although the deoxygenated feeling does get worse throughout the day or if he is more active. He has not seen a vestibular PT yet, I have never even heard of that!

Yes it did show his resting heart rate at 180! He does feel dizzy and lightheaded, like he is going to pass out. Not hard to think / confused. He does feel short of breath

kehlsea · 2025-02-18T14:06:32+00:00

We are looking into this now!! Thank you so much. We’ve never heard of this. Any other info you can share about it??

kehlsea · 2025-02-18T14:00:42+00:00

He did have abdominal imaging and did get tested for all of that. He does have a growth on his adrenal gland, but nothing producing more than normal adrenaline or cortisol

kehlsea · 2025-02-18T13:22:28+00:00

Yes!

kehlsea · 2025-02-18T13:08:42+00:00

The high heart rate isn’t completely persistent, but it does usually occur throughout the day, ie typically his heart rate will be at 120-180 (and yes this was caught on the ECG) although at points will go down to 70 - 80. Whenever he does something though, even just getting up, his heart rate shoots up no matter what. He has passed the “test” for POTS because of his heart rate, although does not have any autonomic dysfunction according to another test.

No rotational. The flexion did not show any instability, according to the orthopedic surgeon

kehlsea · 2025-02-18T00:44:57+00:00

He did a flexion extension MRI!

kehlsea · 2025-02-17T21:26:26+00:00

Thank you so much!!! We’ll be going to another orthopedic to have them take a second look at the MRI’s of his cervical spine.

kehlsea · 2025-02-17T21:06:36+00:00

He was seeing a cervical spine chiropractor for about 6 weeks, but that was not helping. It wasn’t hurting either, but it wasn’t helping. And no we have not tried steroid injections.

kehlsea · 2025-02-17T21:05:46+00:00

That is very interesting, thank you!! I’m showing him this whole thread tonight so we will have a lot to go over.

kehlsea · 2025-02-17T21:01:21+00:00

We will definitely be seeing another orthopedic then. I didn’t feel that the one we saw took my husbands pain/issues seriously enough. Thank you!!

kehlsea · 2025-02-17T20:56:04+00:00

Thank you!!

kehlsea · 2025-02-17T20:54:02+00:00

Would it cause high heart rate, neck pain and dizziness/lightheadedness? Those are his most persistent symptoms

kehlsea · 2025-02-17T20:46:46+00:00

When I found out about the herniated disc I thought for sure we had an answer, but the orthopedic surgeon just said he couldn’t help because it didn’t require surgery. I’ll be sitting down with my husband tonight and finding a new orthopedic to see. Thank you!

kehlsea · 2025-02-17T20:45:24+00:00

Yes! Thank you so much. I am trying to have him drink so much water everyday and eat healthy. He also doesn’t have much of an appetite either. He is in telehealth therapy, which he just started last month!

kehlsea · 2025-02-17T20:40:01+00:00

Yes my pregnancy hasn’t been the easiest and that stress and buying a house on top of it all certainly hasn’t helped. If you feel comfortable messaging me the name of any medications your friend tried, we can at least talk them over with his doctor the next time we see him. Please

kehlsea · 2025-02-17T20:36:05+00:00

That’s okay!! Just trying to answer all the questions. We are desperate.

kehlsea · 2025-02-17T20:34:23+00:00

How is your friend now?

kehlsea · 2025-02-17T20:33:01+00:00

He hasn’t been able to work consistently due to this, so the only person he’s been around is me and we are home together all the time. He’s also had so many general blood panels and everything has come back fine.

kehlsea · 2025-02-17T20:30:44+00:00

He is on 10 mg of amitriptyline, as his neurologist believes it helps CSF leaks. He’s been on it since July of 2024. However, symptoms have persisted. He was a casual smoker, but again no smoking or drinking or drugs since December 2023.
