Hello, I am going with my mom to her doctors appointment tomorrow to discuss her sleep test.
We received the report today, and it indicates severe sleep apnea.
Her Apnea/Hypopnea Index (AHI) is: 51.2
NREM AHI: 42.8
REM AHI: 95.2
Non-Supine AHI: 45.7
Supine AHI: 91.0
It seems like they will recommmend treatment, probably a breathing machine, which I know NOTHING about.
Any advice or suggestions? My concern is that I have read that many people give up on the machines within 2 weeks, because they are cumbersome.
Thanks
