Looking for opinions - sleep study interpretation

Hi all, first time posting here.

I had an at-home sleep study done back in March that showed had these results:

AHI 3 per hour (24 total events, 3.7 at per hour in REM)
RDI 9.7 per hour (77 total, 16 per hour in REM)
ODI 1.4 per hour (11 total events)

Mean oxygen was 97%. The wake / sleep stages were very fragmented.

I have had bruxism for many years and a history of fatigue and TMJ/chronic pain. I have an open bite as well as deviated septum and enlarged turbinates, which makes it very difficult to breath through my nose.

I am following up with a sleep physician in a week but was wondering if anyone could provide some perspective.

Thanks for the help!

1. CPAP therapy could make a big improvement for you.

2. Followup with your doctor.

3. Make sure to get an auto machine by ResMed or Philips Respironics. I recommend the ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet with heated humidifier. https://www.cpap.com/productpage/resmed ... idair.html

4. While waiting for your doctor and machine, you may get a little bit of relief by avoiding backsleeping. (Sleep on sides or stomach.)

5. Stay in touch with this helpful forum.

Good luck.

Oh, I hit post before the final one.

6. Talk to the sleep physician about another consultation with an ENT. Surgery to reduce enlarged turbinates can make a big difference.
