Stick with the current settings a while longer. I was an early adopter of using a high trigger setting for mild CA and found that very-high was too much. Establish a base-line, then if you want to try a very high trigger, you will have a trend to compare it to. At this stage of optimization, there should be no rush, and a clear intent in making any changes.

I don't disagree w Sleeprider's suggestion to stay the course for a bit; however, I use v high trigger with no problem and actually wish there was a very very high trigger to try. it varies with the individual; what applies to one doesn't apply to all and there's no harm in trying if/as/when you feel your current setting isn't as good as you'd like. meanwhile, letting it ride for now is a reasonable suggestion.
Will appreciate recomendations to adjust the pressure-settings on my RESMED AIRCURVE BIPAP.
Attached are the readings of recent 3 nights in March (25-26-27). I want to optimize my treatment and keep my readings below 5 AHI.
In my case if I have a good night everything is fine next day, if not it goes from Mild Depression to a stronger one. I have realized that the last 1-2 hours of my sleep are crucial to my sleep quality. Here in Honduras, Sleep medicine is limited.
