Got my report today. Here goes:
In 406 minutes, 42 episodes of apnea and 287 episodes of hypopnea. AI=8.3, AHI= 64.9 and SaO2 nadir was 75%. REM AHI was 51.9 episodes per hour. RDI was 72.63. Desaturation events were prominent and severe especially during REM sleep.

Any nonmedical opinions?

In my best non-medical opinion.....I would say that you have "Severe" sleep apnea.

My non-medical opinion suggests you can treat your "Severe" sleep apnea condition with Positive Air Pressure technology

Reminds me of my sleep study results, which were followed by strong resistance to CPAP therapy.

Don't make the mistake I did - go for it, right away.

Tolerating the therapy is simply not that big a deal.

Best of luck.
