Hows it going? Ive recently gotten the results from my sleep study and something doesnt seem to add up to me. My mother who's been a nurse for 30+ years seems to agree. Id like to ask if anyone else has experienced something like this and what the probability of this being bad data is?
Ive been told I have a Rem-Related AHI of 103 and a Non-Rem of 165 with an oxygen saturation of 93 during Rem and 92 Non-Rem. Looks like the overall AHI was 154.7.
This also showed a Central Apnea Index of 123.9.
The oxygen saturation only increased a few percentage points while on CPAP during the study. Looks like the apnea indexes improved for a short while to 76.8 but increased back up into the 120s-150s.
No other issues noticed in the cardiac data
Being able to function during the day (despite being exhausted) seems to contradict these findings. Am I off in thinking something is up with the data? I would think that these sorts of numbers, if correct, would result in me being unable to function day to day or would have resulted in serious health issues.
Any thoughts on this? I do have another sleep study scheduled with a Bipap ASC to see whats going on but its a few weeks out due to insurance unfortunately.
