New User S9 Setting Question

I have been using the s9 with the humidifier for 3 days now. My AHI has been between 1.5 and 6 but I looked at my settings today and my machine is set to 4 minimum and 20 maximum.

Re: Second Sleep Study Kinda in Denial

Actually the post that said I could die if I don't get on a machine didn't upset me at all. It was kinda the hard truth I needed to hear.

Second Sleep Study Kinda in Denial

I just had my second sleep study where they try the cpap machine and different masks. My first study had an AHI of 105 and a minimum oxygen level of 75%. I just keep having this feeling that it has to be a mistake. I am tired in the afternoon but I've always been tired in the afternoon. I'm grumpy w...
