Oximeter For Sleep Apnea
Sleep Study Results - what does this mean please?
Hi, I have my results back from a sleep study using an overnight oximeter, but don't understand if this means I have sleep apnea or not?
It was for 8 hrs, but I hardly slept. I got a few hours sleep though.
I would be very grateful if you can give some ideas if this shows anything?
Many Thanks.

you should ask the doctor to interpret the results. Typically if you have apnea they'll tell you, as you would need a CPAP machine.
As far as I can tell, you do not have apnea.
