My concern is that I don't really like taking provigil, but I wish there was something else I could work on to reduce this need. My OSCAR screenshots with last night and last week's data, and charting from last night, are attached. I use Resmed's Airsense 10 in APAP mode with 8-12 cm H2O pressure settings and EPR of 1 cm H2O. My mask is the Resmed P10 nasal pillows, which are also comfortable.
At diagnosis, my AHI was in the 5-10 range, but some symptoms would be considered much more severe than the medical classification of mild. This makes me think that despite a mild AHI, my body for whatever reason, has less energy.
I would appreciate any ideas others might have. Some questions from me are:
Thanks in advance.1. Is there a benefit from oximetry data? If it found anything, would supplementing with oxygen make sense? If worth pursuing, how do I get a reliable enough of a reading for a doctor to use - or do I need a sleep study of some sort with my device?
2. Are there any other treatment options that I should consider? Would BiPAP or any other devices potentially have a benefit? I doubt this, but still wanted to ask.
3. Are there any other standard lists of things to check for that can cause these issues? I do normal annual bloodwork with my PCP and have those things under control, but is there any aspect I should pay more attention to, or tests I should inquire about?
