Obsessing

[Sleepster]

I do have an AHI of 2.2 lately. It is up from .9 at my start of this mid-July.

That's not of any significance. You have a AHI well below 5.

Fluctuating from 0.9 to 2.2 is not a significant change.

Hi Eaglett,

Understand your anxiety. Will say my readings were higher in the beginning. Realized that sometimes I got dinged with a hyponea or central when rolling over...was holding my breath. Silly me. Hang in there!

Hi, as everyone has said - don't stress. Speaking from personal experience, I do know that if you stress about things, the ahi does go up although I cannot give you a reason as to why. I have had 0 twice in a year. However, another thing that I have found is that getting the right fitting mask REALLY does help! I had the wrong size for a year and really only felt marginally better. I now have a correct mask and almost instantly, my black eyes aren't black any more and my ahi is a constant 0.2 - sometimes I worry that my machine is broken, it always seems to be 0.2!! but reading my stats, the machine is fine. Good luck

For the time being I have stopped obsessing. I'm sure it will come again. I am happy with my mask - granted I have nothing to compare it with - but there are no problems that I know of. As long as I stay below .4 AHI, I will consider myself good.

Hi eaglett1111, I know it's easier said than done, but try not to stress, it sounds like you are well on your way into your therapy. CONTINUED SUCCESS! BTW, enjoy the dark chocolate and cookies, UMMMM!
