Re: Confused
Ok thanks I’m just so confused with ahi I thought 1.5 if multiplied by 10 hours of sleep would be 15. Dr said long as ahi is under 10 .So what does 1.5 mean

Re: Confused
AHI is a PER HOUR average and when your doctor says under 10 AHI he/she is talking about the PER HOUR AVERAGE and not talking about the overall number of events during the night.
Now that 10 AHI number would equal 100 events over a 10 hour period.....that's way too many IMHO but some docs (especially those not in the USA) are okay with that many events but here in the US docs aim for less than 5.0 AHI and some people find they need even lower AHI to feel like they slept well and feel decent during the day.
