AHI ZERO last night!

When I downloaded my data this morning I was surprised -- and pleased -- to see I had zero Events last night. All the other graphs appeared to be as usual, so I'm guessing it wasn't a data gathering fluke. In the 2.5 years I've been using CPAP, this is the first time I've had zero AHI.

I've been concerned because since July I have been recording significant Centrals almost every day. They have ranged from AHI of about 3 to about 9, sometimes as high as 15. In the past couple of weeks they have been way down, so maybe I've turned a corner.

Wishing a Great New Year to everyone here.

BRAVO!

Congrats wardmiller. Keep up the good work!

That's fantastic. Sounds like your discipline is paying off and your body is reacting to the treatment. Happy for you.

wardmiller,

Ahhhh, the elusive zero. Congrats!!!

Keep up the good work!!!

I echo the BRAVO!

And I don't want to poop on your success, but... You might want to reset your machine
if you see this repeated over several nights in a row.
It may be unique to my ASV box or my usage - YMMV.
I've had this (machine recording zero AHI) happen probably every four to six months.
First time it happened, the other values were populated in the results so I was really
happy; surprised but happy. A zero was VERY unusual for me. At the suggestion of
my doctors technician I reset the machine by powering it off then I unplugged it for
a few minutes. Next morning the AHI was not recorded as zero.
So now when I review the download(s) and notice several nights w/ AHI=zero I reset
the machine.

Well, last night my AHI was 1.75, with CA 1.21, so I'm guess the zero for the night before was actually what I experienced.

That's like getting golf's elusive hole in one!

Congrats!!

Congrats! My lowest ever in 9 months on my machine has been 0.59, and that got me all excited. If I had a zero I'd be celebrating.
