For last couple of months I have been feeling tired an hour or two after getting up. I saw ENT doctor who suggested a sleep study. My AHI was 7.5. He recommend I try using a CPAP machine and it might help. I used it for 15 days and it literally had not effect on me. I was still tired throughout the day and I take 1-2 hrs nap in the afternoon since last 10 years or more.

Next, I was asked to do all kind of blood tests, chest x-ray and ECG. Everything was normal except my liver. My SGPT (ALT) was 75 (Normal range is 10 to 40 U/L)

My doctor said we will do an endoscopy and see what's happening inside. Before that, he was checking my nose using a device in his room and said my turbinates are swollen and he isn't sure if we can do an endoscopy, he suggested we do a Radio Frequency abalation of the nasal turbinates.

I'm confused. I sleep properly for 7 to 7.5 hrs. CPAP isn't helping at all. How is reducing my turbinates going to help?

Whats suggested if CPAP doesn't work for you? I think I've lost the ability to think properly and decide what to do. I would really appreciate any insights or help you can offer.
