Hello folks,
Currently having a Res Med aircurve 10 machine, I still have many events (around 5 / h) especially in REM phasis. I do not sleep very well because in the morning I am confused and not concentrated. In the afternoon I feel exhausted. I ll soon do a sleep -endoscopy I may have the basis of the tongue quite large which blocks the air , especially during REM phase. I do around 17 micro arousals / h.
I am young and quiet worried.
What should I do ? Is the surgery dangerous ? what is it exactly ?
I am currently doing some logopedic exercices everyday.
I would like to wake up one day totally fresh and productive like a normal person.

RE: Check up
Welcome to Apnea Board,
Members here will be glad to help. Since you use OSCAR charts, if you can post a detailed daily chart with Events, Flow Rate, Mask Pressure, Leaks using F12 screenshot for Windows or fn F12 on Mac. Make sure the left panel is intact with calendar closed.
The ResMed ASV machine is pretty easy to tune up. Once thing I'm seeing now is possible Positional Apnea patterns where you are tucking your chin and kinking off the airway. Read up on that if you would fun my signature link.
How many Central Apnea were you dealing with before? This ASV is specifically used to treat those CA.

I am 27, having apnea syndrome since I am a kid. It is getting worst and worst and I use an asv ResMed machine (10) for the night.
I am now at 4/5 episodes per hour. They are high especially at the end of the night.
In the morning and during the day I feel confused, not productive, I have lack of concentration. I offense wake up at around 5am when the major parts of the obstructive events take place.
I would like to improve, I am currently doing logopedic exercises.
I soule like to wake up one day felling very productive and not tired and not waking up at 5 am.
