CA events are simply pauses in breathing that can arise for many reasons, but we totally disregard them during naps and other disrupted short sleep where a steady sleep stage is not acquired. Sit down and watch a game with the CPAP on sometime and you will have totally bizarre breathing patterns.

RE: Am I worrying for nothing? CA during nap.
You had 3 CA flags in about an hour. The level isn't worth the concern, and besides it was a nap. Naps are probably less than ideal areas to gather data to direct your therapy.
Unless you have a history of having a predisposition to CA, these aren't worth the bother to do anything. No attempt on my part to be belligerent or dismissive. I know what level CA should get noticed, because I have them all the time, it's in my diagnosis. My last known good diagnostic had 124 CA to 24 OA in about 8 hours.
Anyway, relax, breathe deep, get a nice steaming mug of coffee.
BTW you can possibly make etch a sketch patterns on your chart if you're interested
