Comparing my two sleep studies...

Post by Dazzles » Sat Dec 24, 2011 10:15 pm

Hi there!

I have the notes from my titration study and I was comparing them to my initial study.

One key difference is that in my first study I had no signs of periodic limb movement. However, in my sleep study I had several, with a period limb movement arousal rate of 2 per hour.

I also see that the doctor determined that there is no set pressure for me and that she recommends to always use APAP. Apparently the correct pressure to stop the snoring/AHIs lead to increased limb movement and a RDI of 7 (I'm not sure what this means).

So the conclusion of the titration study is that it failed to document an appropriate pressure.

Should I bring up the limb movement thing at my next appointment?
