normal weight also can get ..


could be due to tonsil , facial configuration also can plays a part

i have seen someone that is normal weight or got a little bit of stomach(like just love handle) have AHI of over 100.. scary

Easy way to see if u have high risk of sleep apnea is to do STOP BANG questionairre.. just google it.

to conclusively confirm it,

do a partial sleep study (level 3) or if u banyak duit or complicated case get a polysomnography(psg or full sleep study which is level 1/2)

from there can conclusively know what is ur condition

im just answering question on how usually they going to diagnose u with sleep apnea since i do work with the ent and respi dr in regards to sleep study and cpap.. im sorry if u think its "googled answer" thus may be wrong. im saying google the stop bang questionaire since usually dr would also ask the same type of question from that questionaire before referring for a sleep study test.

may i know what mask are u using ?

is it the nasal pillow or full face mask?

yup this is another test that u can try other than the stop bang test... again both questionaire is just to see if u have high risk or not for sleep apnea.
sleep study is the only way to conclusively confirm u have sleep apnea or not.

most people dont require a full sleep study though. partial sleep study usually enough to diagnose sleep apnea and the partial sleep study cost at most also few hundred ringgit compared to full sleep study

this is the home sleep study test

if u in klang valley or southern area come contact me for the sleep study
