I found an old video of my 'click snoring.' Does this 'sound like' UARS?

Update: Have started sleeping again with machine in straight CPAP mode. Haven’t slept more than a couple of hours with it yet because of air bubbles creeping up my throat and waking me up. Have been off SSRIs for several months.

Any suggestions on air bubble problem?

Hello again. Still struggling with this, though haven't been sleeping with machine. I'm thinking of starting again, but my question is, how many nights would it take for me to know whether or not it was a UARS issue and solvable with breathing therapy/BiPAP? I'm trying to know ahead of time how many...

WAGs are my favorite guesses.

This is extremely helpful. I have been keeping an 'EDS journal' for years now. Used to be a spreadsheet looking at all factors--blue light, stress, sleeping position, caffeine intake, weather, season, etc. Now I simply write down 4-6 data points each night before bed. To this, I'll add what you sugg...

added to that, what was the justification for giving you a bilevel machine, with such a low AHI in the first place... I bought it with my own money. Doctor said use straight CPAP, but insurance wouldn't pay because of low AHI/no apnea. Most of what I read about UARS said bilevel can help, and I fig...

Go back to auto mode. Minimum EPAP 8 or 9 PS min 3 PS max 5 Maximum IPAP 25 I don't think you will ever come remotely close to the 25 and thus it really doesn't matter. Will do. Read up on the side effects of your Citalopram https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citalopram It belongs to a classification of...

Here's one night where I fell asleep on couch, went to bed and slept with machine for a couple of hours and, and in my infinite half-asleep wisdom, decided I should take it off.

1. 15 & 7.5 was a baseline 'guess' based on reading others with UARS. 2. 7.5 mg of Citalopram is the only thing I take consistently. I have Provigil and Ritalin also prescribed, but I don't take them every single day, mainly because they stop working when I do. 3. See below. http://i.imgur.com/qzddR...

I also tape my mouth closed. No issues so far, though this thread does make me a little nervous. FFMs dry out my mouth--mouth opens, air goes in, mouth dries out. Not sure how this doesn't happen to every 'mouth breather' with FFM.

Short summary: EDS for 5 years, worsened in last 24 months. Need help interpreting data and mitigating short and long-term health effects. Symptoms: Most days, crippling EDS (excessive daytime sleepiness), mental fog, completely inability to focus, completely flat emotionally, zero libido, zero natu...

Hello to everyone! I've been suffering from awful EDS for around 5 years now, and was diagnosed with UARS about a year ago. (More on that in another post.) After doing a lot of reading, I decided on a MAD, though I had to pay $3300 out of pocket as, I'm sure everyone here knows, insurance doesn't pa...
