Alfee 50-60x/hr would make you extremely severe!
obviously there is a criteria, each event has to last for a minimum of 10secs and up to 5/hr in regular sleep 15/hr in REM is normal. 5-15 is mild, 15-30 mod and above that is severe. Cardiologist are now referring for sleep studies to rule out OSA before any meds or ops as a person with severe sleep apnea put's a strain on the heart and other major organs therefore by treating OSA, where effectivly treating the heart.
