What percentage of periodic breathing on my cpap is dangerous? i believe im fortunate since im at 0% for 1 day, 7 days and 30 days. my ahi is 1.0, 0.8 and 0.6. thanks! lisa?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Zero percent periodic breathing is very good. Your AHI is also within the acceptable range, but please review your sleep findings in relation to your symptoms with your sleep specialist. Watch for air hunger, dizziness and shortness of breath.

What's a good sleep aide (medicine) for someone with apnea, not on cpap, who's having more trouble than normal falling asleep? Diagnosed ~ 6 years ago when ~225 pounds, but found cpap extremely annoying (felt like its pressure was blocking my breathing).
