New Mask

Post by jetcpap » Sun Feb 06, 2011 8:03 am

Doc decided my leaks were too high she decided to change it out to a micro. After two nights the downloads look good and the red, tender bump on the bridge of my nose is just about gone.

Just thought I would pass it on if anyone was having issues. My former mask was the activa.

Another question I'll throw out, does anyone have large fluctuations on their AHI over time? Mine now has been averaging about 1.3-1.7, and every now and again it may hit the 2.1-2.6 range. I know this is still below the 5AHI threshold so that is ok, but are large fluctuations normal?

Thanks.

That's not really a large fluctuation at all, and it's very normal.

To agree with Julie, those are not "large" fluctuations at all. They are really very minor. Remember these are averages and it only takes a tiny change in overall event numbers to affect a minor average change.
