Can anyone interpret this report please?

Post by crave303 » Tue Feb 04, 2020 5:45 am

I have doctor appointment next week but I would like to try understand this more before then.

Does anyone know if this is apnea or can tell what is going on?

thanks

This is an Oximetry Report showing your oxygen levels while sleeping..Doesn't report Sleep Apnea.

so what is the exact test that identifies sleep apnea within a sleep study?

If what you posted is all they gave you, ask for the full report. You will be looking for words like apnea, AHI, hypopnea, RDI, REM, latency, supine.

A sleep study.

Which is made up of many concurrent tests, analyzed together.
