AHI vs Sleep Stages
My first test for apnea showed that I wasn't getting enough of Stage 3 sleep and just barely meeting REM. AHI 10.1
My 2nd test where they give you a mask I met Stage 3 sleep but was way under in REM. AHI 2.6
I've been on my Airsense 10 Autoset for exactly one month. I felt really good the first 5 days and then I've felt like I did before the cpap. I know, give it time.
My AHI for the past month is .55! I've had 3 nights with 0 events and many nights with just 1 event.
Just really looking for comments on the sleep stages though. Attached are my 2 sleep studies.
Machine: Resmed AirSense 10 AutoSet For Her Mask Type: Full face mask Mask Make & Model: Resmed f20 Humidifier: Resmed Integrated humidifier CPAP Pressure: 11/14 CmH2O CPAP Software: Not using software
Other Comments: I started CPAP in 2008. Totally blind since birth.
