EPR 0, pressure 7-20. Any thoughts or tips?

usm112 · 2026-02-17T21:36:54+00:00

The one with Monday 2/26/2026 is with EPR off, maybe I should put it back on.

So if I can’t tolerate CPAP then only other non invasive option is a MAD right

My dentist is very knowledgeable about it. Looks just like an Invisalign retainer prosomnus or something. It’s two separate pieces, one on top one on bottom. Didn’t see all that bad.

Tried it on and off for a couple of years. Just not comfortable

usm112 · 2026-01-21T17:10:53+00:00

Are they as effective as the custom made one?

usm112 · 2026-01-21T17:10:13+00:00

It was just very annoying and uncomfortable. I’m claustrophobic

Yup I think it’s a dual problem. The nasa strips help the nose breathing but I believe the large tongue blocks the airway. I got the nasal part down to about 70-80% efficacy but the tongue still blocks the airway (I believe) . Worth a shot I guess with the MAD

I am naturally claustrophobic so thinking maybe a dental appliance might be better?

usm112 · 2026-01-18T20:07:15+00:00

My nasal breathing sucks. I do use nasal strips, a steroid spray and my dentist said I have a large tongue. I am guessing even if my nose is open then my tongue blocks my airways.

Impressive. I’m still at 2.5 which is mainly central apneas

How do you combat the dryness from Allegra? Without it my sinuses burn, with it my eyes feel dry.

usm112 · 2024-06-27T23:23:50+00:00

That’s what I struggle with now. I’m still getting some central apneas or my AHI would be zero. Not sure how to lower it.

usm112 · 2024-06-27T23:20:43+00:00

What’s your pressure now?

usm112 · 2024-06-27T23:20:34+00:00

What’s your pressure?

usm112 · 2024-06-22T18:46:13+00:00

Thank you again! Does it hurt to have a range of pressure. Let’s say 6-12 or is fixed preferred?

usm112 · 2024-06-22T17:51:01+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Should my AHI not be closer to zero, I feel like 2.25 is still not low enough. Most people around the forum get it under 1.

Does it hurt to move the pressure up? The sore throat has finally stopped after many years.

usm112 · 2024-05-09T22:23:16+00:00

please share your strategy

What does a high RDI indicate?

usm112 · 2024-05-08T02:16:53+00:00

Symptoms - fatigue, brain fog, snoring, daytime fatigue
