Could that be switching from left side to right side sleeping and i just dont remember?

Entirely possible. When we have arousals we don't always remember them when they are very brief but they still happen and we can see it on the flow rate graphs.

I have a few examples in this thread.
viewtopic/t186231/Examplesmouth-breathi ... gging.html
I call these post arousal flagged events as "false positives". A while back I had an AHI of 9.4....sounds horrible doesn't it but 90% of that AHI was false positive post arousal flagged events. I slept horribly that night and I wasn't surprised when I saw that AHI and looked further to see all the post arousal breathing stuff. I was a stupid old woman who did WAY too much in her garden one day and paid the price with lots of back/pelvic pain that night and I tossed and turned all night long and I remembered the tossing and turning. I have a hard enough problem with pain issues disturbing sleep without doing something stupid and making it worse.

When I don't sleep long enough or soundly enough I get headaches and feel like crap.
Wonder if your acid reflux is affecting your sleep quality much???? Wouldn't be impossible for it to be a factor.

Hi Pugsy! Can the attached thread "viewtopic/t186231/Examplesmouth-breathi ... gging.html" be used for false CA events as well?

IIWY I'd see a good ENT guy for evaluation and possible solutions.
