I just had a home sleep study done and I'm really confused about the results. Two years ago several family members noticed i quit breathing in my sleep and so I went to my primary care physician. Who ordered an oximetry test at home. I had two tests done, both showed my oxygen levels down to 80%. So my dr. Referred me for a home sleep study study. I just got my results. The sleep doctor said I snore like a beast. Which is not new to me.I've been snoring since i was a kid. And i Told the sleep doctor that i wasn't very surprised it didn't show any apnea since despite being hooked up to all the wires i actually had a very rare good night's sleep and he said i did have apnea episodes about 7an hour. But that everyone has apneatic episodes and mine was normal. Could my results be because i had a good night's sleep. The only thing the sleep doctor suggested is to help my snoring to lose weight since I'm about 20-25 lbs overweight.
