I recently had a sleep study but my AHI (4.2) came back at just below the NHS threshold (5) for treatment & my doctors are refusing to try CPAP despite my compounding sleep/health problems. I believe my AuDHD sensory profile means I'm much more sensitive to the effects of "mild" OSA which is preventing me from accessing restorative sleep.

I have tried everything you can think of to fix my sleep prior to this over the last 30 years bar surgery. I am otherwise in excellent health as sports and exercise have always been my main tools to regulate myself. I eat clean, I don't smoke and I don't drink. When I'm awake I breathe WELL with my nose and infact always have been a nasal breather. It was my garmin data which highlighted the possibility of sleep apnea though now I know more about it, there were always a lot of other signals too. I just never recognised them for what they were.

I have acquired a Phillips REMstar Auto A-Flex & have ordered the resmed F30I mask which should arrive on Thursday. The machine is in as new order and was only used for 4 days by my best friends mother before being put away. I have cleaned and sterilised it thoroughly and learned how to access the clinician settings.

So I need help to determine the best settings for this for someone with what appears to be mild OSA/UARS with an AHI of 4.2.

Can anybody advise me? I Will of course do my own research but the brain fog is running strong right now and being honest, I need a little help to figure this out because I'm coming apart at the seams. I'm desperate to get some restorative sleep.

Prior to this study I have spent years trying to correct my sleep. There's nothing more I can try and I'm coming apart at the seams from fragmented sleep and I don't know what else I can do. My life is falling apart.

I'm healthy, lean, I eat well, I don't drink, smoke or take drugs. I actually take my health incredibly seriously. However I'm also autistic so I'm sure I'm impacted more by this than a neurotypical person due to having a very sensitive sensory profile. My health is declining now because I'm no longer able to recover from exercise.

What can I do from here? (I'm uk based too, an NHS patient).

Found myself in a situation where a mini cruiser will come in useful so I got the Micron Bogart. Are there any meaningful upgrades I can make to this board to make it better?

It's my first board in some years so i'm a bit out of the loop. I used to ride a Landyachtz Switchblade 38, which I had for about 4 years and rode all the time until it got stolen from my house. At the time I couldn't afford to replace it so that was the end of longboarding. I was getting pretty good on that thing too.

I suspect the mini cruiser may reignite that interest but i'd like it to ride as nice as possible in the meantime.
