Re: Low AHI but still feel like I'm not sleeping well half the time

Hi kteague, Thank you very much for the detailed response. I should have been more specific when I posted. I experience muscle twitches throughout the day while I am awake after getting a bad night's sleep. The past couple days I've been sleeping decently and haven't had any muscle spasms but when I...

Re: Low AHI but still feel like I'm not sleeping well half the time

I have a problem I need to bring up because it's really bothering me. For the past couple weeks, about maybe 50% of the time I wake up with twitching muscles in the morning, most often in the legs. I attributed it to lack of sleep because it usually occurs after a bad night. However, last night as I...

Re: Low AHI but still feel like I'm not sleeping well half the time

I can relate as when I had the polysomnography I had AHI 14 which I assume was normal/average for how I used to sleep every night pre-CPAP, since I've been using the machine (2 months) my AHI has been about 3 - but I don't feel any better at all. From my understanding, I think 3 is still considered...

Re: Low AHI but still feel like I'm not sleeping well half the time

My first instinct was to immediately quit on the nasal mask (Resmed Mirage Softgel Nasal Mask) but I gave it another shot last night, figured out there was a little knob that could be rotated to ease the pressure on the upper nose. Last night I had the best night's sleep in recent memory, 0.3 AHI, n...

Re: Low AHI but still feel like I'm not sleeping well half the time

First night on the nasal mask, great night on paper but feeling decidedly below average. At least the dry mouth and aerophagia went away. I saw something concerning in my sleep report, the flow limit graph looks really crazy to my eyes: may17th.PNG Is this flow limit pattern normal? Looking back on ...

Re: Low AHI but still feel like I'm not sleeping well half the time

Turned up the minimum pressure from 9 to 11 last night and got a super weird, unpleasant nights sleep. Tons of wake ups that I actually remember due to aerophagia and dry mouth as well as lots of breathing problems not flagged by the machine. Seems like I just can't keep my mouth shut during sleep. ...

Re: Low AHI but still feel like I'm not sleeping well half the time

Hi, I just wanted to chime in that I have UARS, on top of the OSA. my AHI has always been very low and my first sleep doctor had no idea and suggested I was mental and blew me off but my 2nd sleep doc took me seriously and gave me a pressure esophageal manometer to sleep with during my sleep study,...

Re: Low AHI but still feel like I'm not sleeping well half the time

My diagnosis was rather mild in terms of severity as well, I think I only dropped to 88% O2 once during the test, SpO2 was above 92% the majority of the night with small dips indicating interruptions. You've given me a lot to think about, I'll definitely get a full work-up as soon as I can, it's bee...

Low AHI but still feel like I'm not sleeping well half the time

Hi everyone, I have been using my Resmed A10 for close to 2 years now, and have gone through periods of both good and bad sleep, but the past couple months it really feels like it's mostly bad. I was originally diagnosed with an at-home oximeter test with an AHI of 11. Ever since I started therapy w...
