CPAP Statistics question

Hi all,

I'm new to using CPAP, and after two weeks of struggling to sleep with the device I've finally managed to have a couple of nights of mostly solid sleep. I've slept for approx. 7 hrs with a couple of minor interruptions mostly to do with the mask becoming unseated. I'm using the ResMed Elite 2 machine along with a Swift mask.

I reviewed the statistics that the unit has been tracking and for the past couple of nights I've noticed that the AHI number has been in the 30s. The AI and HI numbers have been in the teens as well. Is this high? Will these numbers eventually go down? Note that I was looking at daily statistics, not weekly/monthly so I do question whether these numbers are cumulative or not.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
