Widely divergent AHI scores on OSCAR

Post by RRR » Mon Jan 30, 2023 2:05 pm

My AHI on OSCAR has been generally excellent but intermittently I have had widely divergent readings for no apparent reason I can determine. This week for instance I had

1/23: 0.0
1/24: 0.72
1/25: 0.92
1/26: 0.0
1/27: 0.0
1/28: 17.63
1/29: 6.56

I can't think of anything different as far as diet, alcohol (hardly any), meds, etc. I have very little mask leakage.
I would appreciate any suggestions about the cause of such widely divergent readings.

Thank you

Almost never is an OSCAR graph description, or a bunch line items useful. Rarely is there context.

Almost always, screen prints of OSCAR graphs can be helpful.

Show a typical night and then show the AHI 17 night.
