Any Sleep Apnea Specialists Out There?

[Luang]

Recently been diagnosed with mild obstructive sleep apnea. (Quite low on the index).

Went to see a specialist (take with pinch of salt if you like as i do these days ) Anyway, he recommended a nasal spray to begin with,( after i told him i had nasal airway issues). I then asked if i could use this long-term ( which now i know is a def no-go). So, I then asked 'so, what next ? 'and he said, 'maybe another nasal medication' .

On further questioning he suggested i trial a CPAP machine. Well, i have spent 3 days not sleeping and with more acute blocked sinuses ! My instincts told me that my problem was not so severe to warrant this treatment so i did some rersearch. Literally every resource i find recommends CPAP only for mod-severe apnea and mild cases involve 'lifestyle changes' . i don't even snore or am overweight. I'm at the point where i think Thailand's finest have not quite got it right and i shouldn't even be ruining my sleep further with this machine!

(Should inform readers that this has been part of my quest to find out what is causing my daily chronic fatigue over a 2-3 yr period - i'm essentially covering all bases including TV members suggestions and recommendations. This has been my latest project - so to speak - but i believe the quest continues for now )

Any experts out there to inform otherwise?

Cheers,

I recommend to try a "Transcend CPAP", the smallest and portable CPAP in the market that is very handy for travelling and can be operated on an external battery. Check for more details from www.nksleepcare.com. Ask them for a free trial and see if you can handle it? This one is unique and you may see it differntly from the one you tried. Hope this helps.
