Obstructive apnea without a flow limit

Post by Thumper1947 » Fri Mar 10, 2023 3:52 pm

Question, can you have an obstructive apnea without having a flow limit. I haven't had an OA for 6 months and last night I had 3 OA's but there was no flow limit. Could someone explain how that can happen? Thanks.
