Thanks for feed back. I find your empathy really helpful and comforting and I will definitely try the dry mouth and nasal sprays.
It's early days, but it is great feeling so positive about life again and looking forward with optimism. I think it was great just finding the cause of all my symptoms. I am hoping to get back on my bikes again and start swimming 2x a week when my energy returns.
I am now semi retired and just do a bit of supply teaching work. I don't know how I managed to work full-time for 60 hours a week on next to no sleep. One thing for sure is that I won't be going back full time, no matter how well I feel.
I think one thing our stories say is go to the doctor and push for a sleeping disorder referral. I found being fobbed off all those years so demoralising, especially being given vitamin tablets.
Thanks to you for your support and all the best for the future. I will let you know how I get on with the sprays.

Thank you very much for your response. No I am not travelling. There is a significant difference in pressure in the two machines. That was the cause of my worry. Thank you again for allaying it.

"Hi Mathura and welcome to our forum. With good results like that it shouldn't cause a concern, as it could just be that the Z1 algorithm suits you better. Just like with masks suiting people better, so can machines, but mostly…"
I have been using RESMED in auto mode. The pressure used to settle around 11cmWG with AHI between 2 and 4. I have recently switched over BREAS Z1 in auto mode. The pressure has now changed to around 5.5 cmWG with AHI remaining below 5. What would be…See More

In the case that UARS is detected, may I enquire what you mean regarding a more complex machine? Are you referring to BiPAP machines?
