Post Newcomer/Newly Diagnosed with questions 
I guess I'm just looking for a bit of reassurance. From what I've been told, from what I read, etc....I'm not sure how bad this is. Some symptoms I think I have to have I don't...Please advise.

I'm 39 years old, 5ft 5in, 138 llbs. I've snored for a few years now, but it's increasingly gotten worse. I wake up sometimes and I can't breathe and I'm ALWAYS tired.

I had my first sleep study for weeks ago. The results came back "moderate amounts of partial obstruction and upper airway resistance"

Total sleep time: 420.5
Sleep latency S1 15.6
Sleep Latency S2 16.6
REM Latency 114.1
Sleep Efficiency 91%

Stage 1 Sleep 28.5
Stage 2 Sleep 279.5
Stage 3 Sleep 7.5
Stage 4 Sleep 0.0
Stage REM Sleep 105.0
WASO 25.8
# of Awakenings 6

Obstructive Apneas 0
Central Apneas 0
Mixed Apneas 0
Hyponeas 0
total of Disordered Breathing events 0
Lowest 02 95%
Baseline awake 97.1%
Baseline NREM 96.7%
Baseline REM 97.4%

Baseline Pulse 81
Highest Pulse 115
Lowest Pulse 64

Respitory Disturbance Index
18.6

Hypopnea mean duration 19.7 seconds

Arousal Summary
Respitory 131 Index 18.6

Lm followed by respiratory event 0
LM w/no association 142 index 20.3
Total LM not in PLM Sequence 34 Index 4.9
PLM Sequence 6 0.9
Total LM with Arousal 0

Any input at all would be greatly appreciated. I'm at a loss. Parts don't seem bad at all.
Yet, the Respitory arousals of 131 concern me. And last night I went in to be titrated for a CPAP and this morning the tech told me she had to put me up to 14. Sounded high, but again, what do I know?

Thank you so much, in advance, for any information you can send my way.

Arline
