What else can I do? - kentuckywildcats87 - 05-12-2023

Hey Folks

Been on CPAP 1 year. I am still EXHAUSTED. I don't know what else I can be trying. 

Interesting notes:

1. I have deviated Septum
2. I have Sinusitis 
3. I have hypertrophy of the nasal turbinates

Here is my PSG

Here was my  MSLT

Here is some sleep data:

I have found that my diet was in part responsible for my exhaustion and made major dietary changes (whole food, plant-based diet). Problem solved. Although my apnea is mild, it was both CPAP and diet changes that made the difference. Hopefully others can help you tweak your settings to see if that will help. Best of luck!

Thank you for writing! I have to admit my diet is quite poor. It's been poor all my life so I justify by saying I would have felt bad earlier if it had something to do with my diet. But bodies change right. My wife has been insisting that this is probably a major cause.
