Should SP02 Drops count as part of AHI or RDI
My last nights AHI was .68. Should SP02 drops, RERA, Pulse Changees, UF1 and UF2 be included? The reason that I ask this is because I have felt tired and very sleepy the whole day.

The reason that I ask this is because I have felt tired and very sleepy the whole day. REMless, I can't say whether or not they should, although in my opinion most of these shouldn't. I can say that by definition, AHI is calculated by summing three 'things': hypopneas, Obstructive sleep apneas, and Central sleep apneas. The formula is: Quote:AHI = (OA + CA + H) ÷ # of hours of sleep Sadly, just because you have a great AHI doesn't guarantee – or even suggest – that you will feel great the next day. There are a lot of factors that influence that yearned-for feeling of well-being, and most of us have to pursue it for quite a while before it blesses us. Please don't get discouraged; it may take more effort than you expected but a lot of folks here are eager to help you get there.

I was getting 0.0 for a while, but I didn't feel that great. However, it is now around 0.2 most nights and I feel fine. So it is not all about getting a 0.0. However, it may be certain types of apnea that affects some more than others. If I get any centrals, which I do not get at 0.2 I feel fine, but it there are central apneas in any of it including it as a total I feel crap. If hypopneas are high I also feel rough, so as long as it is OSA and it is around 0,2 I feel fine. Though I am still happy if in a morning it is a 0.0 just to keep me happy that I can still get one.
I am NOT a doctor. I try to help, but do not take what I say as medical advice.
Every journey, however large or small starts with the first step. |
