Thoughts on my data (after double jaw surgery)

Thoughts on my data (after double jaw surgery)
Hey everyone,
I had double jaw surgery for sleep apnea almost 5 months ago. I was still having trouble with my sleep and my surgeon said i could try cpap again. I was on a fixed pressure of 8 with cpr 3 before. Here is my new data where I'm on fixed pressure of 7 with epr 3. I've never had this many clear airways before. Not sure if i should lower pressure even more. I def need to fix the leaks, i ordered a new mask since mine was pretty old and the seal wasnt as good. 
I would love to hear any advice. thank you

The central are not a real problem.  There are not that many and as you get use to the therapy they will go away (at least most of them)  They are called treatment emergent meaning they are there for a while and should go away.   I don't see much of a problem with leak, although, less is always better.  But again they are not causing problems now.

Thank you! Do you think I should increase my pressure to help reduce the rera and hypopneas?
