This is really interesting. I'm female and do get up to pee 3-4 times a night most nights. Just last week when BF was here overnight he noted that in the early morning hours when he had his hand across my chest, he'd feel my heart beat normally, then stop briefly, then I'd snore. Although I don't have diabetes and I'm not overweight, I do have an enlarged heart and mitral valve prolapse which means I get winded on exertion. I need to find a sleep specialist. I'm on Medicare but could certainly afford the cost of an initial consultation to see if I need a sleep study.
Tell your doc your concerns and he will send you to a sleep specialist who will immediately schedule a sleep study or two! At least that was my experience. Medicare covers everything.
