AHI (Can Someone Explain?)

AHI (Can Someone Explain?)
I use a sleep apnea machine. One night it stated I had 55.4 AHI in one night using it for three hours. Since then, everything has been good, meaning under 2.0. Reasons or thoughts

RE: AHI
sorry gary, I have nothing, seems like it was just a glitch. I'm glad with under 2, the apnea is being treated well for you with the new machine. You could download sleepyhead from the top of the page. This will give a lot of data from the machine.

For auto-cpap, from machine data or software. You can set the min pressure 1 or 2cm below 95%. Or clinicians commonly use the maximum or 95% pressure for fixed pressure CPAP, this can also be used for min pressure.

Download SleepyHead and follow directions in some members' signature lines about how to post charts. That way, you'll get some analysis and insight on your sleep.

I'd also go with a glitch, software or hardware.  One night of oddness is not worth sweating.
