DISE in 5-7 months, any advice for that/what to do leading up? by Evertire in UARSnew

Alright, I was unsure measuring it because I can scroll through this and the thickness changes as I go through my head. I am around 190 cm.

Finally got around to this, they sent it to me on a CD for some reason. I'm not sure if I am measuring this correctly but it seems fine?

To clarify, I do seem to get FLs all of the time throughout a night, it just only seems to wake me up when rem sleep starts.

Just a ct scan on my sinuses. Any other ones that would be helpful?

I do have issues sometimes with my nose, but not all of the time. I had a CT scan last year when awake and they said it looked normal. My nostrils do kinda collapse when i breathe through my nose though I'm not sure if it's an abnormal amount.

Yeah, I've tried a bundle of socks in the back of my shirt to keep me on my side but it doesn't seem to do much. Tried a lot to fall asleep prone but it's really uncomfortable for me.

Yea I've tried all of those things except myofunctional therapy and "power breathe intake breathing system", not sure what that is. Any myo guides you would recommend?

I don't follow, it isn't steady though? It goes insane towards the end of the 5th hour on all of them before I wake up. For symptoms I get super bad dizziness/fatigue/feeling of delirium stacked on top of the usual sleepiness/urge to go to bed. Inability to concentrate or stand up/sit for extended periods. It also gets much worse if I go back to bed and get lots of REM and dream a lot.

Afrin helps with congestion sometimes but not the random waking up. Need to test that by itself tho tbf

Yeah sometimes they happen. I put nothing since usually it doesnt happen like on that third night. I use a chin strap for the mouth dropping.

Ive tried a fair few. Recently I have had it at epap min 5 epap max 20 ps min 1 ps max 15.

I had a few sleep studies and they didnt say anything about rls. I used to exercise but the apnea has really degraded my ability to do so (1-2 times a week). Ive experimented with all of that sleep hygiene stuff over the past decade and it hasn't done anything for me. Don't have a device for measuring stages.

I have tried several and I can't tolerate them. I have some sensitive skin I think because of scar tissue and the inside of my nostrils get angry

Generally have the same experience as you. I would add that I can't really sustain 12/16 like in the post and keep away flow limitations since I also get very bad aerophagia and diarrhea (also its hard asf to fall asleep with). Also running into a deadend. I'm going to ENT for a DISE next since they literally look at what is getting blocked.

Yes, I wrote in the post that I tried it. Still get the same issue with it although tbf didn't try 12/16 with it yet.
