Re: Pressure range for UARS?
Thanks again for all the responses. I guess I'll just have to resort to begging the NHS for a data-capable machine... Or buy my own. Hey guys and gals...OP here mentioned NHS...that's normally England or something in that neck of the woods. Typically OSA patients are given APAPs to self titrate and ...

Re: Pressure range for UARS?
Thank you for all the replies! I don't think I worded my question very well. What I meant by 'range' was 'is a fixed pressure somewhere between 4 and 8 about right for UARS?' I know the Auto responds to flow limitation. I had it on APAP for a while but it unfortunately did not help me. Could someone...

Pressure range for UARS?
Hi everyone, I have a couple of questions about UARS which I have tried to find answers for and failed. Firstly, what sort of air pressure range should an UARS sufferer be on? For the past year I have been on pressures ranging from 4 to 8, but have seen no difference in my fatigue. Is 4 to 8 about r...

Re: Help! Told by sleep doc "CPAP isn't for you" after <6 months
Thank you both for your advice. Thankfully the machine I was offered is data capable, so I should be grateful for that at least if I do get it back!

Help! Told by sleep doc "CPAP isn't for you" after <6 months
Hi everyone, I'm quite upset and am in need of some advice. I was diagnosed with Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome about 8 months ago now. I live in the UK, and was promptly referred to my local NHS hospital's sleep department for treatment. After a little under 6 months of trying to get on with the ...

Re: Can CPAP eliminate fatigue completely?
Hi everybody! Wow, thank you for all your replies, I wasn't expecting so many so quickly! So the consensus seems to be that CPAP can and does help a lot, which is great to hear - I feel a lot more optimistic after reading your replies. I've only been on CPAP for a couple of weeks, so I have yet to c...

Can CPAP eliminate fatigue completely?
Hi everyone,
I am new to using CPAP (APAP specifically) and have a question. Can CPAP (or APAP or any of its relatives) ever get rid of the fatigue caused by sleep apnea/UARS? Or can it only reduce fatigue up to a point?
Thank you
