This is poll to explore AHI values once being treated

Never go over 1.0

I run about 1.2, last I checked. The very fact that I am no longer obsessively checking each day must be a good sign, right?

It's just a sign you may have a real life. Jim

Since tuning my settings & correcting a glitch in the data supplied by my sleep clinic, I am averaging under 1.0 & even then the higher number is a HI & often with the AI = 0.

Am very pleased with this at the moment.

After 71 nights on CPAP my 71 night average AHI is 11.7 but 11.3 of that 71 night average are HIs.

That's the reason I have this AutoPap loaner.

During my sleep evaluaton study my AHI was 23.9 of which only 1.9 were hypopneas.

My titration studies were no help: 42 minutes one night, 98 minutes the second night. So we've been working on a guestimate for pressure for these 71 nights.

I had not kept a running average AHI, but became curious after seeing this topic so I calculated one 30 day average [11-09 through 12-08] and obtained an average of 1.49 for that period which I suppose is satisfactory.
Since the averages to choose in the poll were in whole numbers I rounded up and chose 2 for my average.

My average AHI is 3.1, but the bulk of that is HI's. My AI is .1 and I am assuming that the apneaa are of greater import, health-wise, than the hypopneas.

Is that a fair general statement?

pre-PAP = 102

AHI average now is 2.2 w/ AI about 0.1 ... I do get a few AI to = 0.0 on occasion but still waiting to get that elusive AHI of 0.0 at least once.

100 days 2.2 (I rounded down to 2 for the vote)

Have been below 1 only on very rare occasions. My auto is set 5-6 (was titrated at 7). If I go above 6 I have painful aerophagia and have to remove the mask. Still have it at 5-6 but I can live with it--most of the time. and use the mask all night.

I'm very jealous of you all I struggle to keep my AHI below 5. I saw my ENT specialist again today and was discussing the situation with him. He again pointed out that I have an unusually long uvula and that he thinks I should get it removed (via LUAP). He said he doesn't usually recommend that anymore but in my case thinks I should. In fact while examining me the called in all his med students to have a look since its so umm freakishly long...
