My doc is considering using that and CPAP to help reduce my pressure needed.

I do......I have a Dsra....and when I first got it....worked like a charm. I was so happy to use it and wake up refreshed....but now I have other issues now that prevent it from working....but it is very comfortable. It was kinda expensive since my insurance did not cover it ($1500) but I am sure the price would be different by region. Good luck.
