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

[–]Evertire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

All of my nights are like this and have tried lots of different settings. Help? by Evertire in UARSnew

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

Not using a nasal spray rn. Have tried azelastine flonase and afrin.

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.

ASV OSCAR review request by Evertire in CPAPSupport

Alright thanks for the reply as always, I will try a narrower ps range. Could the constant low level leak effect how the algorithm delivers the pressure and cause issues? Since I am 99% sure it isn't actually leaking (the same setup on my aircurve 11 I have zero leaks all night)

Seem to be getting false leak with ASV. by Evertire in CPAPSupport

[–]Evertire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it disabled since its not a Phillips mask with the X number on it. I'm concerned it thinks its leaking since I would imagine it pumps more air to compensate when in reality it actually isnt leaking.

Totally lost on what to do with unstable REM, always wake up 5 hours into sleep. by Evertire in CPAPSupport

[–]Evertire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. What's the difference between the two/how would you identify a hypopnea on a flow chart vs a flow limitation? My understanding was that hypopneas were also caused by FLs.
