AHI numbers out of whack

Post by Snoozy18 » Fri Sep 27, 2013 7:15 am

I have been using Sleepmapper to track AHI's. They have consistently been in the 1-3 range. Then the past 2 days towards the end of the sleep cycle the graph skyrockets and my AHI's have registered as 59 and 66! What could be going on here? Can I really be getting AHI's that high? What would it mean? Or could this be a glitch in the program? I feel fine upon waking.
Enlightenment would be appreciated.

What model machine are you using? Model number is a 3 digit number on the bottom of the blower unit...
The machine you have chosen in your profile doesn't report AHI at all....did you choose the wrong one?
SleepMapper??? The online thing?
Get SleepyHead ...links in my signature...and post a copy of a detailed nightly report for us to see what you are seeing.

FYI I deleted the accidental double-post...

Thank you. Corrected machine. Thanks for deleting double post - not sure how I posted twice. Having trouble importing data to sleepyhead. Will persevere.
