Rita you can start off getting familiar with the terminology by looking at this: http://www.sleepguide.com/page/2549090:Page:11273

Rita had these follow-up questions.  Can anyone help:

What does this mean:
Epworth Sleepiness Scale < 10=(does not indicate EDS (Excessive Daytime Somnolence));10-15=(indicates daytime somnolence-not excessive);>16 (indicates EDS).
==========================================================================
What's the difference between mild, moderate and severe Sleep Apnea? Mild Sleep Apnea = AHI between 5 and 15 Moderate Sleep Apnea = AHI between 15 and 30 Severe Sleep Apnea = AHI > 30
My doctor said my number was 74 times in four hours...How is the above counted?  Ex: between 5 and 15 Moderate Sleep Apnea...does that mean between 5 and 15 times an hour
==========================================================================
What are the fully data-capable machines? The fully data capable Resmed xPAPs are the: Resmed S8 Elite w/EPR Resmed S8 II Elite w/EPR Resmed S8 AutoSet Vantage Resmed S8 II AutoSet w/EPR Resmed VPAP Auto Resmed S8 II VPAP Auto 25
The fully data capable Respironics xPAPs are the: Respironics M Series Pro w/C-Flex Respironics M Series Auto w/C-Flex Respironics M Series Auto w/A-Flex Respironics Bi-PAP Auto w/Bi-Flex Respironics M Series Bi-PAP Auto w/Bi-Flex
 
Mike, my machine is Remstar Pro C-Flex + Auto 1Q which is not listed above.  Does that mean I should ask for another machine?
