Ask again with info: I would need your ahi, rdi for your total night's sleep study and then i it might be possible to comment. Also give me your lowest desaturation and average oxygen saturation for the night. Thanks.

FAB rephrase! T_You!: Without access to all the info from the study, it is nearly impossible to tell why you are not receiving some form of treatment for your sdb. It is possible that you could have some complex of symptoms that precludes routine treatment options available. If you have asked this question of your providers and they have not given you a satisfactory answer (they have all the details) seek 2nd opinion.

Depends: Depends on what the studies showed and what your symptoms are. Good question to ask MD who ordered sleep tests.
