Can I get the latest on UARS

Post by pemes » Tue Jul 30, 2024 12:10 pm

Can anyone point me to the latest info about UARS? I have used an apap machine without good results for about 8 years. Always very low AHI. Usually below 2, but did not feel better. I could never use a set pressure range because the pressure would go crazy so had to set it to CPAP mode or very tight range. I inquired about the possibility that I had
UARS, but was told that the apap would work for that fine. I just listened to Pugsy's video about
using a bi-level for UARS. I am an American living in a third world country so the doctors here don't know anything about sleep apnea. There is 1 place that does this sort of thing but it is 6 hours away, they are probably more behind the times than I am.
I am really suffering with so little sleep and have developed high blood pressure. I think it is probably related to !y SDB.

Ok I know that I will need to get some data together from my machine.
Are we still using Sleepyhead? Whatever it is, I need to get it downloaded.
Maybe I can try to figure something out, but have been so lately.

My recommendation is to get a free account at SleepHQ.com, upload your data, and then post the link to your SleepHQ data in this thread. Simple and quick.

Thank you Chicagogranny
I remember you. Hope all is well with you.
Yes, exactly. That is what I will do. Can I ask you something?
In preparation, I used Pugsy´s tutorial to download
Oscar, Sleepyhead. I had used Sleepyhead before.
Is the program, to which you are referring, SleepyheadHQ
a part of that or did I miss downloading something?
Lots of great new stuff here.

Of course, it does. You have a cookie stored on your browser. It will take pemes to a page where he can establish an account.

Thank-you everyone for your input. I got the correct link, I think.
Then set up my account, but it wanted me to upload my data,
which I could not do because I still need to buy a new USB drive.
But, thanks to you, I think I am on the right track.
