Lower The AHI
Hi guys:
Kind of a newbie to CPAP. Last August I was referred to a sleep doctor and I was given a take home sleep study. I was told I had a severe case of sleep apnea with events ranging from 40-60 per hour. I was given an AirSense 10 AutoSet and given a prescription of 8-15. Using the MyAir app, I was used to average events ranging from 10-20, but I'm on a mission to lower that now. I definitely sleep better now that I'm using a CPAP machine, but I do think I could sleep better. I've adjusted my minimum and maximum to 15-20 and I'm ranging from an average of 4-10 events per hour. I know 20 is the sky for this machine, but I'm hoping there are some other tweaks someone can suggest to improve my AHI.
Using OSCAR, I've taken a screenshot of my most recent results from last night. I hope I have it formatted correctly.
I'd appreciate any and all the help I can get!
Thank you!
