Re: AHI of 52.67 on APAP (Airsense 11)

I'm relieved that you're seeing improvement! Could you clarify: is the 6-12 the number of events during the night, or the AHI? It'd be interesting if you could spend a night or two close to sea level and see what happens. Easier said than done, I know. Instead of setting your machine to CPAP mode, ...

Re: AHI of 52.67 on APAP (Airsense 11)

Ostagoymp, you haven't been back for a few days. I hope you got that doctor's appointment. Did you try turning off EPR? If you did, was there any improvement in the CAs? As you can see using the link below, there are several possible causes for central apnea, including "idiopathic," basically meani...

After the ablation, the doctor said I would need to get my sleep apnea under control and then we could discuss another ablation. I've started...

Insurance pay for it or self pay? Do you have a copy of your sleep study? If not, you should probably be getting it. W...

AHI of 52.67 on APAP (Airsense 11)

Hi, I was recently (2 months ago) diagnosed with severe sleep apnea with an AHI of 102 during my sleep study. The doctor mentioned that it seemed to mostly consist of Central SA with some instances of obstructive SA. I purchased an Airsense 11 APAP and they set it to a range of 5-20, according to my...
