Obstructive Sleep Apnea

2020-06-23 07:15:49
I am a 29 year old male suffering from Moderate Asthma and Allergic Rhinitis. I am taking Seroflo 250/25 and momeflo nasal spray twice daily. Recently, I have undergone a sleep test and I have been diagnosed with moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea and my AHI was 15.7. Should I go for CPAP or BiPAP since I have read online that BiPAP is more preferable for Asthamatics? Could you kindly advice?

AHI 15.7 and asthma not related to each other. Treatment options are different. CPAP / BiPAP is good for OSA management for life long. But as you are young person I can suggest the surgical intervention is best.
Next Steps
Please meet Sleep apnea specialist / surgeon
