New user with variations in AHI

Post by CelestialCat » Mon Apr 19, 2021 6:29 pm

Hi folks! πŸ‘‹πŸ˜

I've been using a CPAP for just over 2 months now. My sleep study AHI was 84, obstructive and central, more obstructive though. With the new treatment it's gone down considerably ~ averaging 2 to 8 but as high as 26, although the ResMed AirSense10 Autoset machine and the company's MyAir reports always say my mask fit is πŸ˜πŸ‘. Anyone know what causes it to vary so much? Is there something I can do to make it more consistent?

Thanks! πŸ‘‹πŸ˜
:roll: Total Newbie, please be patient! :D

Hello! The best way to enable people to help you will be to use the wonderful Oscar software and post a daily chart. The link is in my signature block.

You will need an SD card in your machine, a laptop or desktop computer, and a way to read the SD card (slot in the computer or a card reader you plug into the computer). Please let us know if we can help you get set up with Oscar. It will be a game-changer for you.
Oscar software is available at https://www.sleepfiles.com/OSCAR/

Thank you, Miss Emerita 😁 I looked at the links about Oscar in the thread for where newbies start, but it was all Greek to me. I'll have to get an SD card. Any idea how much capacity it will need to have?

get the smallest you can get. oscar data doesn't take up a lot of space.
people say i'm self absorbed.
but that's enough about them.
