Is it normal for AHI # to vary? I'm a Newby!
Is it normal for AHI # to vary? I'm a Newby!
My AHI has been varying even after getting a better fitting mask. I was thrilled that it went down to 2 but this morning it showed 6.8 and there was no air leak or mask fit messages on my daily machine report. Does anyone else experience this? I don't want my dr. To increase pressure again-it's already at 13. Thanks

But, if you're not using software like Sleepyhead, I'd suggest getting it and you will see what's happening. Looking at the info in the LCD on the machine is not very revealing.
Please fill out your profile with all of your equipment and settings so we'll have some idea of what you're using.
