Re: UARS and CPAP
I too have UARS, you might want to look for mewing/ tongue chewing on youtube, it really helps, though CPAP isn't a complete solution bc with UARS you are going to need CPAP even at daytime as I did. Palatal expansion with adult is really hard but with constant mewing/tongue chewing your maxilla wil...

Re: Not so new newbie still feels tired after 455 days
I tried autoset but it doesn't work too, I tried a lot of different setting but it doesn't help, it seems like for me nasal resistance is the culprit, to see if you have too much nasal resistance, try cottle's maneuver, pull out both your cheek to the side to make your nostrils bigger, then see if y...

Re: Need help, suspect UARS. Want to try APAP - need advice and guidance.
reason why you mouth breathe is because your nasal airway is narrow, narrow nasal airway dries up your turbinate and makes it swells, I also have UARS and the treatment for me to reduce nasal resistance is palatal expander, according to research, using palatal expander reduce 35% of nasal resistance...
