Doctor said I don't have OSA since my AHI is 1 to 5 range

Also, it's neither correct nor nice to shout this at newbies struggling with sleep problems and CPAP therapy.

Re: cpap data: low number apneas, but large number of hypopneas
My recommendation would be to bump your pressure up 1 cm. to 9 cm. for awhile and see how that looks. Den . only my doctor can do this? my last doctor gave me the cpap, i no longer see him, i wonder if my new one can make the adjustment. why do you feel i should bump it up a notch? No, you can chan...

Re: cpap data: low number apneas, but large number of hypopneas
Click on the "Details" tab on the left and not the "Events" tab. Hide the calendar so we can see the statistics details. That events tab doesn't help much. Include these only on the right side.

But, I don't see much to worry about in that report.

Also, I realize that an AHI score within this range considered mild compared to others with scores of 50 AHI.. but it has triggered parasomnias and seizures, so it's something that I...

Re: Oxygen issues not just when Im asleep but when awake as well
Let me try to put your mind more at ease. Those type of devices measure oxygen levels by reading blood flow through your finger.
