My AHI was 151 when measured. The CPAP has changed my life but I do look forward to any possible way to not need it anymore.

Mine was in the 50s when they measured, which seemed bad enough. CPAP takes it down to about 2 to 3.

Oof, and here I thought my AHI of 69 was bad (which it kind of is regardless). My condolences. Glad the CPAP helped, it completely and utterly changed my life too.

  • 256 here :(

    the cpap is a wonder, I can't sleep without it. I only wish I'd gotten one 10 years sooner. I have whole years of my life missing from my memory - REM sleep is very important to long-term memory formation.

    Using my CPAP now nets me about 1.5 AHI.

    if your doctor tells you to get one, get one.

    • Ouch! I'm under 3. It follows me everywhere too. Early on, I kept trying leave without it when sleeping out for one night. All it achieved was having to catch up on sleep for the next few days. Nowadays I use it even when taking a short nap.
