You beat me on AHI: My AHI was 171.1, the longest event was 20.5 seconds,and my O2 dropped to 67.0

Last time I was at the sleep doc she said another patient had beat my "Record" and did a 181 or so. I asked was she as dead on her feet as I was (pre-CPAP) and the doc said "worse". I can't imagine. Congrats on finding the problem and good luck with therapy. I don't sleep a lot (5-6 hours most nights then can't get back to sleep) but I feel SO MUCH better than pre-machine that it is great.
