Re: AHI - should I be doing something about it?
Pugsy, I use the machine during the day when I take naps. The lady at the dr. office told me I should use it during naps. Yesterday I forgot to use it on the biggest nap of the day, but still used it a couple of times in the evening before I actually went to bed. I take lots of naps, am very fatigue...

Re: AHI - should I be doing something about it?
Thanks again Pugsy for taking such an interest in helping me. I'm sorry I didn't answer all questions, there was a lot of info going around. In regards to the sleep study, I had a little clip on my finger, a belt-type thing around my chest (with some sort of little machine attached) and a thing in m...

Re: AHI - should I be doing something about it?
Thank you everyone for your responses. There's an awful lot to learn, the machine, mask, SleepyHead, etc. If I'm understanding right, maybe I should be using a different mask? Because there's no way I can see to help the leak rate on this one, I am using the M pillows, tried the S & L and felt a lot...

The first weekend, they got 2.5 hours of study from 2 nights wearing the machine. They had me take it another weekend and they said out of the 2 nights they ...

AHI - should I be doing something about it?
Please excuse this newbie question, but this is bothering me. I've only been using the CPAP for 1 week and love it! I'm not sure it's doing what it's supposed to be doing, tho. I'm trying to understand the readouts on the machine, still working through that. But I see people here mentioning AHI of 1...
