Paul,

Thanks for replying. Were your sleep stages ok, too? I seem to spend the right amount of time in all the various sleep stages.

Also, was your O2 ok? The raw data showed only 1 dip to 83% for just a second, but the rest of the time it was in the 93-94% range.

This explains why no daytime sleepiness and why I can drive for hours without any problem!

The only reason I went in was because the sleep didn't feel "refreshing" anymore. Now I'm wondering, since it's 90% hypopneas, if surgery will be more likely to be successful?

Logic tells me that if the majority of the time the blockage is not severe enough to cause a complete obstruction, then it can't be THAT bad of an obstruction to begin with!

I mean, my AI is 2.7/hr (normal!). It's the stinkin' hypos that make up the other 17.5/hr of the RDI.

Was that the same situation with you?

Thanks for the reply.
The other Paul
