Tbh well doctors themselves dont know what they are doing . I started orthodontic treatment like 4 months back .The doctor claimed that MSE expander and tongue tie removal would cure my problem and told you wont require bipap for long . Now the same doctor is clueless and does not know anything and is saying fix your nose and saying you dont have central apneas in your study that was what I was trying to check and that your arousal index is high because your sleep is disturbed . She knows that something like UARS exists(nd btw she only introduced me abt UARS ) but somehow all she is focused on is apnea and that I dont have apnea so yeahh thats gr8 congrats . Now she says bipap should not be used long term .U should not depend on a machine lifetime and referred me to a sleep specialist ENT and she told that fix ur deviated septum and ur swollen turbinates . I dont understand why even u claimed that this procedure would cure me and hence remove need of bipap . Anyway how I already got to know by time from this subreddit nd all that MSE and tongue tie removal dont work .But I dont understand that why tf these doctors are so confused species. Before she said me that there is no need of fixing dns and now she is saying fix it . I am rejected by ever doctor anyway how just because my AHI is not that much and when I talk about arousal index ? According to them thats because of the sensors of eeg that were placed on me causing disturbed sleep . Gr8 man .When I even told that there were so many spikes of heartrate just like I was doing cardio in my sleep(lol) and my rem sleep is just 10 percent and that clearly the report says I was breathing fastly while sleeping but they say 10 percent REM sleep is normal(even though the fact is u need atleast 15 percent +) and they said having heartrate spikes is also normal it does not show any problem. When I said pls calculate my RERAS they said that they are written 0 because they are 0 . I said you are stupid , clearly my breath is highly flow limited , my arousal index is high . I have all UARS symptoms and even mild sleep apnea(mostly hypopneas)as well but nah man that lazy dog sleep technician wont care to count RERAS and says I have sent you the edf files you can check it yourself .Damn so wtf is your job if I have to analyze it on my own . I cant go to any doctor and get treated anyway how now why? Because ur AHI is less U dont have any problem lmao so we dont know anything . U are fit you can run walk , ur body is not showing any disease like symptoms . All I have is my bipap now and OSCAR because I have lost my trust on doctors and Ik they cant do a shit .These people in the white court are not trustable . I am getting adapted to bipap slowly .Only thing is I need a higher ps like atleast 5 but my body is not able to tolerate that much so am slowly increasing it. I hope am able to get success
