Re: AHI Went Up After Switching to New Machine - Help?

Thanks so much for your kind words, Zonker! Since my last post, I went a second night at the higher levels but my AHI went up again. So I called the DME and am very happy to say that they agreed to give me a ResMed and to take back the Dreamstation. I'll be making the switch on Friday, but in the me...

For almost five years, I used a ResMed Airsense 10 Autoset and had an average AHI of 0.4 and felt fine. Recently, th...
