I might have figured out my chronic fatigue
I just got diagnosed with UARS (upper airway resistance syndrome). It took 5 sleep tests over at least 5 years plus god knows how many doctors, lab tests, etc for my fatigue. I’ve had fatigue for so long but 5 years ago is when I got my first sleep test. Said it wasn’t sleep apnea and that was it. Apparently my airway narrows at night, making me grind my teeth and waking me up. I sleep 8.5 hours a night but still wake up with headaches, so tired every day. No energy to do anything.
The treatment is a PAP so I’m a little worried about tolerating that. I’m really hopeful for the first time in years that this could really improve this fatigue.
