WatchPAT One test results.

WatchPAT One test results.
Hi, I did a home WatchPat One test that registered 1.8 AHI per hour over 7 hours. I slept like crap that nights as I found the finger thing that tests oxygen levels super tight and uncomfortable to wear but not sure if that affected test readings as I still managed to get a few hours sleep. My sp02 went down to 86%. I just purchased a Wellue continuous oxygen monitor and have been wearing it for a few nights now and it only dropped below 90% once so not sure what is going on there. My RDI was 12.4 per hour. I generally sleep like crap and very rarely feel rested in the morning, wake up a lot in the middle of the night so sleep apnea would definitely make sense as the root of my ongoing problems with sleep. Just wondering if anybody can comment on these test findings as it seems a little ambiguous to me. Much appreciate any feedback. 

Thanks!

RE: WatchPAT One test results.
Hello Dino,

It's my understanding that home tests can under-report events and be deemed "inconclusive" due to potentially false negative findings. The usual recommendation when results are ambiguous is to proceed with an in-lab sleep study. 

I hope this helps!

Thank you, I am trying to get an in-lab study done over the coming months.
