RDI - AHI and related acronyms??
Hi all,
Looking through my sleep study and trying to make sense of the numbers.
My RDI (Respiratory Distress Index) during the baseline session was 50, does this also translate to AHI, or does it include snoring?
My RDI after CPAP applied at a pressure of nine was 2.
Thanks for the help.

New to the forum - Hello
Hello All, I just want to say Hi, I am new to the forum and was just diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. I had started getting very bad headaches, and wasn't sure what it was. Dr ordered an MRI (came back negative for any issues). I had noticed at times when falling asleep that I would awake suddenly...
