I'm attaching a screenshot of apneas I am seeing. My AirSence 11 AutoSet marks them mostly as OAs. From what I understand, which I am a beginner CPAP user, these apneas are really centrals. I see the machine tries to increase pressure but it seems to me that it has no immediate affect because I am simply not trying to breath. I want to thank again those who have helped me in the past and please excuse my need to confirm whether this is OA or CA. thanks

OA or CA
Hi,
I'm attaching a screenshot of apneas I am seeing. My AirSence 11 AutoSet marks them mostly as OAs. From what I understand, which I am a beginner CPAP user, these apneas are really centrals. I see the machine tries to increase pressure but it seems to me that it has no immediate affect because I am simply not trying to breath. I want to thank again those who have helped me in the past and please excuse my need to confirm whether this is OA or CA. thanks

RE: OA or CA
I am no expert, but I would raise your minimum pressure to 8 or so and your maximum to 13 to see if you can eliminate some of the OAs before you do anything else.

adrift - Both of your threads deal with your therapy, so I am merging them together. Please keep all your posts about your therapy in this thread.

To be clear, those are definitely obstructive, positional apnea, see my previous post
