Sleep apnea might not encompass your entire medical condition. Have you also been checked for anemia or other nutrient deficiencies? Also, consider how many hours a night you sleep. If you use a c-pap, but still only sleep 5 hours a night you probably won’t see much improvement. I would have to know more specifics about whaty ou mean by I have no energy, but I hope this helps some.

UVPPP surgery is the best solutiuon. I had i done and sleep apnea is gone. CPAP was too much of a nuisance for me. One week of pain has cured me.

Question by WAN: What should the oxygen flow rate be with CPAP If I had used nocturnal oxygen at a flow rate of 2LT/min?
I had been using nocturnal oxygen alone for Obstructive sleep apnea.My doctor told me after the first month fo cpap to add oxygen with my cpap.But he didn’t tell me what the flow rate should be. I asked the doctor office 4 days ago but they have not called me back yet

They might not know this answer. Calling the company where you got your C-PAP machine would be more appropriate and they could give you the proper advice.
