very high ahi's

Post by debdix » Fri Mar 15, 2019 7:16 pm

I have been using cpap for over 12 months now with mixed results. It has mostly been ok to good.
However, last night I was horrified to see that I had ahi score of 19! My mask seal was 19 which was good.
Does anyone have any ideas what would have caused this high reading? They have never been that high before (since I started using machine)
I am confused. :?

we are confused, too. i see you've had a lot of posts here regarding your high ahi's. but without knowing what they consist of, not sure how we can help.

it looks like you know how to use sleepyhead software. could you post the chart of this night?

good luck!
people say i'm self absorbed.
but that's enough about them.

This is like calling your mechanic and asking.."why won't my car start?"
