Scoring

I had my very first sleep study done (at home) on Sunday night. I am waiting for official Dr results but the Nurse said my scoring was in the 80's and that I do have sleep apnea. While I wait, I was hoping to get some insight on scoring and what this means. I'd like to be as knowledgeable as possible in case I have questions about the study as well as the results.

Thanks

Probably means an 80 ahi. Pretty bad number. Stay on top of your journey to get a machine. Educate yourself here, and be sure your dme gives you a data-capable machine. Work all your issues here.

Welcome to the forum.

Some reading material that may help explain things while you wait...

And on what to expect from your insurance or DME

I barely snore at all although I have tons of other "symptoms" of SA. How can I create an account?

I'm in! Thanks all.

While snoring is a common symptom of sleep apnea it isn't a 100% thing one way or the other.
People can have really bad sleep apnea and not snore at all and some people can snore like a freight train and not have sleep apnea.
Looks like you are of the former category...

I'm honestly shocked y'all. I haven't officially heard from the Dr though but it doesn't sound like it was a great result. I did the at home study, does this even matter?
