Just an update - was diagnosed last yr w/ severe osa at 76 ahi average per hour - since then, had major nasal surgery and lost 20 pounds - and 2nd sleep study notes my ahi is now at 24 - HUGE DIFFERENCE
I am STILL having problems with my sinuses and any mask that I use, although I am still compliant - but allergy meds make things much better, and now that I am at the moderate level, am going to try out a dental appliance and possibly alternate with it later on if it works, with the swift to lessen the pressure on my sinuses - anyway, if you have probs with nasal passages and contemplating surgery, it really helped with me
good luck all
2nd sleep test now moderate not severe osa
I'm so glad to hear that the surgery made such a great difference for you! AND Congrats on the weight loss! Keep tweaking and trying masks, your bound to find one that works for you.
