Need Help - OSCAR - Low AHI/Mild RDI
Hello,
I recently got 2 at-home tests done and they both showed low AHI 2-4/hour but showed moderate RDI 6-9/hour. Furthermore, it was significantly higher in REM at 16-21/hour and REM sleep overall was low at 20%. Majority of my time spent in REM was in the supine position.
From these results, I was prescribed an APAP for mild OSA. I am waiting to get an in-lab study to confirm, but for now I went ahead and got an Airsense 11 AutoSet. However, I have not felt better the past two nights using it so I really can not tell if I need it nor if it is working. I know it will take more time but I was wondering if I could get some guidance based on my OSCAR data. The attached data is from last night (which was my second day using the APAP) and got a solid ~5 hours of sleep.
Thank you!
