Hello all,
I just got a Lofta sleep study test done and below are the results along with the screenshots of the report breakdown.
My overall questions are:
1) Does this report warrant getting treatment with an APAP? Would this mean UARs or would a resmed 10 autoset work if I wanted to get treatment on this?
2) Any other ways I can help make this AHI or RDI number lower without a machine? I already use nasal opening strips and try to sleep on my sides.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (G47.33) - Mild, based on (REM-predominant) pAHI= 6.6 and pRDI= 15.8, and O2 nadir of 92%
