Sleep apnea causes blood oxygen to go too low...can affect the brain (leg spasms) and heart (angina)….really needs to have mask on.

Hi @A myALZteam Member....twitches also may be that Parkinsonian type because Alz affects same part of brain....makes sense stress could trigger the twitches

Would have to ask dr but many folks with Alz have some Parkinsons like symptoms as well such as shuffling slow walk and involuntary muscle movements.

I agree, that’s what I was trying to say.

My husband does the same. I believe that it is just another symptom. He has early onset. Symptoms started when he was 46. The medical profession put us through the ringer. Four neurologists, physiologists, psychiatrists and intense testing twelve years later a geriatric specialist finally listened to us and agreed that there was a problem. He was diagnosed two years ago at age 58.
