WatchPAT Results - I think I have UARS..in the UK

Here is the link to my sleep study: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vd5XO8 ... 8S9Dh/view

For context, I am a male in late 20's. I have had symptoms of apnea/poor sleep for a while now and I usually wake up a couple times a night at least. I always wake up feeling very unrefreshed with a headache, I'm also very fatigued and irritable during the day.

I've been going to NHS doctors with my concerns(UK) - It was diagnosed as insomnia, depression and anxiety(way back in 2017). I've tried antidepressants but obviously that has not helped my sleep at all really.

Since this has been going on now for around 4-5 years, around 2 years ago I wanted to check the possibility that I had sleep apnea. I had a home sleep apnea test done with hope2sleep. They detected a minor amount of AHI(around , so I went to the doctor and got an NHS home sleep study done.

I don't think I slept much during the test, but they basically just fobbed me off and said there's no way I have apnea due to my appearance. I ended up pushing back and got referred to an ENT, who diagnosed me with a deviated septum.

I got a septoplasty done a few months after(mid 2019), but it didn't really help too much. Over the past year I have slept with breathe right strips as I feel like they help - I can breathe through my nose fine with the strip on.. but unfortunately I still don't sleep well.

I got this new test done this week, and the amount of RDI's is worrying. Their report from the sleep technician says I don't have apnea, but I'm aware of UARS. I've read the diagnosis section of wikipedia, and it seems to exactly tie in with my results..

If I do have UARS, what is the best way to get treatment. I'm in the UK so I'm very doubtful the NHS would be able to do anything. Does anyone have any experience, and what treatment has helped?

Your link does not work for me.

If your WatchPAT test was interpreted properly, it appears you may have UARS: longstanding tiredness, poor sleep.


The PAT test is known to be quite reliable among methods available for home sleep tests. If RDI is high with very low or no obstructive and central apnea, then the probability of UARS is high and would tend to confirm the report you do not have sleep apneas. If you are slender, however, that does not rule out sleep apnea.


The ResMed Air Curve is the device I am most familiar with and have seen Forum experts recommend as the most probable solution or help for air flow restrictions (as well as for the nearly complete blockages of obstructive sleep apnea). That is because it can provide sufficient high pressure and airflow during inhalation, as needed, but will relieve that pressure more to make exhalation easier. My understanding is the ResMed outperforms others and, moreover, their bilevel is needed to give you the necessary pressure responses and difference.
