What would cause 200 to 300 events an hour

[Raticate]

In an adult man of normal weight what would cause 200 to 300 events an hour? I know several who’ve had this. It can happen normally right? Or signify some dementia?

we can't possibly say without seeing some data from the machine via sleepyhead or oscar software.

do you have the right machine selected in your profile?

Events may be obstructive in nature or non-obstructive. Without more information it isn't possible to say what would be causing an AHI of any level. Apnea and dementia are associated, but in general the thinking is that untreated apnea contributes to unwelcome changes in the brain, not the other way around. Another forum member recently provided a link to a study suggesting that some apnea-associated changes in the brain are reversible with treatment: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4153061/

I think that person would be dead. 200-300 events per hour would be 4-5 events per MINUTE. I don't believe a human heart would survive very long when a person stops breathing that many times a minute.

200+ events per hour would mean a person isn't breathing for more than 55% of the night. 300+ events would mean a person isn't breathing for more than 83% of the night. A quick google shows 200+ events is very rare, I doubt anyone would survive 300+ events.

Sleep apnea is a known risk factor of dementia. Severe sleep apnea wouldn't indicate dementia but it could cause or worsen it.

My first thought is that this cannot be possible.

n event must be at least 10 seconds to be counted as event. 300 events would be a minimum of 3000 seconds. And there are only 3600 seconds in an hour. So, for 300 events per hour, the person would be breathing for only 600 of the 3600 seconds, at most. That sounds like it would require medical assistance to survive.

Can you tell us where you got this info? I wonder if it was 200-300 events per night. During my sleep study, I had 273 events during 2 1/2 hours.

Actually, I don't think you know too many who've had this.

I had 141 events per hour. I've only seen one other on here who had more events than me. I do not have dementia.

Here is another way of looking at this:

You weight of 84 kg equates to 185 lbs.

Unless you're very short, that's not terribly overweight. The Netherlands has the largest average height of any country on earth, so - statistically - your probably not short.

The protocol in the US is to determine your titration with an overnight sleep study. Whether you do it our way or your way, it's still trial and error.

While the an AHI anywhere under five is acceptable, I know that if mine goes over two, I fell just awful the next day.

Also, consider that you might have additional health issues that are making you tired. Such issues include (but are no limited to) Narcolepsy, Diabetes, heart conditions, and poor vitamin absorption.
