[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1756885, member: 429870"] Hello, I am a fellow sufferer from OSA. But for over a year now I have been sleeping with a ventilator (similar to the better known CPAP machine but more sophisticated). At my last sleep test I was having 30+ "events" per hour, so obviously my sleep was not restful, to put it mildly! Now it varies, but is quite often under 5, which is the goal of the therapy. Needless to say I feel a lot better. Before I got the machine, I had a different treatment with a device in my mouth that brought my lower jaw forward and also helped. But that is only suitable for mild to moderate OSA. I can recommend both, but I did find the CPAP type mask hell to get used to. I nearly gave up and I think a lot of people do, but I'm so glad I persevered. [/QUOTE]
