AHI of 5

Posted by jiveonlive on January 22, 2008 at 18:37:30:

after the jaw surgery, and loosing a lot of weight thereafter, my AHI went from 22 to 5.
before or after the surgery, i have been using cpap at 6-9 pressure with no effect whatsoever on EDS.
now, i am wondering if i should keep using cpap or do away with it... doctor does not know either...
i wake up sometimes becuase of leak and noise of cpap...
and probably the cpap effects my sleep in other ways too... such as having hard time getting into sleep...
but looking at the sleep test data taken without using cpap, my sleep is not so good because of waking up events...

so now, i am confounded as to whether i should use the cpap or not.... please help...
