Hey, you just helped sprung an idea.🙂 I’m going to try it out.
August Results: ————————
RESPIRATORY PARAMETERS The patient had a pAHl of 3/h and a pRDI of 9/h. The patient had a NREM AHI of 0.8/h and a REM pAHI of 6.9/h. The oxygen desaturation index was 2.7 /hr. The nadir oxygen saturation was 87%. The mean oxygen saturation was 95%. Time below 88% was 0.4 minutes. CARDIAC DATA Mean heart rate during sleep was 58 bpm. IMPRESSIONS
——————- September: ——————
RESPIRATORY PARAMETERS The patient had a pAHl of 8.3/h and a pRDI of 14.7/h. The patient had a NREM pAHI of 5.6/h and a REM pAHI of 15.3/h. The oxygen desaturation index was 5.9 /hr. The nadir oxygen saturation was 86%. The mean oxygen saturation was 95%. Time below 88% was 0.3 minutes. CARDIAC DATA Mean heart rate during sleep was 51 bom. IMPRESSIONS
Hi everyone, I recently had a second sleep study done. Both, the one in August and the one in September were done with a WatchPad (device you take home and wear it while sleeping) at home. The WatchPad gets returned the following day to the sleep study center. The results for the one in August were negative (3 AHI events per hour), whereas the one for September were positive (8 AHI events per hour).
What’s even more odd is that I lost 30 lbs in-between these two studies ( 1 month difference between the studies) and went from being negative to positive.
I have plans to do it a 3rd time, but after speaking with staff, I am not sure if that’s even worthwhile. I’ve also extensively researched this on the web and elsewhere, but have not come up with an explanation.
Does anyone know what is going on here ?
Thanks so much in advance for your comments/responses.
