UARS, PAP-choise for paradoxical breathing
Tl;dr what machine is best for UARS, where paradoxical bresthing is very present?
Hi!
I'm new here, recently diagnosed with UARS. I have had an ME-diagnose for 10 yeard, and are now thinking most of my ME-symptoms actually are UARS-symptoms. I am on 100% disability, bed bound for around 15-20 hrs a day. I also work a few hours a day (in Norway working on disability is allowed and encouraged).
I am currently trying to get help on the Norwegian Welfare, but have currently not succeeded. My ENT gave me a sleep study, said "this is serious, you need a CPAP", so he referred e to another clinic. They said "yes you need CPAP, but your ahi is <5, so we cannot give you one" then gave me the number of a private clinic, where I am now currently renting a ResMed Airsense 10, and are feeling better than I have in years. I need less rest, feel better during the day, and can handle more. I also sleep better, when the mask or machine doesn't wake me up. I now want to buy my own machine, and are wondering if I should stick with airsense or change.
A few thread marks the resmed aircurve as the best for uars. Would this still be the case for paradoxical breathing?
I spend 60-90% of my nights in paradoxical breathing, according to my three noxt3 studies. I have not seen anyone with those levels before, and I am not sure of the relevance. I just know it means that my body is working hard to breathe. I have around 25-30% flow limitation and about the same time in snoring. These things are what needs correcting. I have used the Airsense 10 since may 20.th. It avarages on around 10 in preassure on autoset. I have not activated the EPR. I tried, but the noise level rose, and I am sensitive to about everything. (heightened nervous system, anyone?) I currently use the p20 mask, and wake up every few hrs due to leaks, discomfort or hose noise. Have a f20mask, but the preassure on my sinuses and nose got to high for comfort. Have just ordered a p30i to see if that will keep me from waking so often.
Is the aircurve at same noise level as airsense on bi-pap?
