It had been almost 6 months since I got my MMA surgery, and I was curious to get my new sleep apnea scores. Obviously I knew that I was sleeping better now since I was doing pretty well with no sleep appliance, but knowing the score was still good.
End result: my new AHI/RDI is now 12. The score itself is not very impressive to be honest (i.e. not so good), but I do feel better with that 12 than the 12 I had when I started 5 years ago.
Part of it is that Stanford is very picky on what they consider apnea now, raising scores compared to 5 years ago, and I'm guessing the other part is that my brain probably deals a little bit better with occasional reduced flow than it did before (i.e. less waking up and not feeling rested).
Anyway, it could be better, but it's pretty good as is. I guess that's what matters. |
