Good numbers but why?

Post by andrasnm » Sat Jun 27, 2020 8:14 am

I know, "never inspect a gift horse's mouth" but I like to know why my numbers are markedly better. Same mask, same machine but as the usual 3-5 AHI, I am not getting a 0.7, 0.5 nights! What else should I look for? I did not lose weight nor my health changed...

I am not sure what you want us to say. :?
Just keep doing what you are doing and they will probably get worse for you (at least for a while) and then get better again. That is the way it goes for me anyway. :D

You've changed the settings on your machine.

In the 6 month - 1 year time frame, your minimum pressure was 5 CM and your AHI was about 3.6

In the last 30 days your minimum pressure was 10 CM and your AHI was around 2.4.
