How is my OSCAR data looking? Help with interpretation

How is my OSCAR data looking? Help with interpretation
Hey guys, this is about my 2nd month of using my CPAP and honestly, still feeling pretty tired. I know it takes time to adjust, but was hoping someone could review the last 3 nights of sleeping for me and let me know how I'm doing! I rarely ever have large leaks but I guess my worry is with the leak rate sometimes being 10+ and most nights I'm seeing a lot of "Clear Airwway", "Hypopnea"s, and also getting RERAs most nights. I am currently using the ResMed Pi130 pillow mask and have my flow at 7-11 with 2 APR. 
Let me know what you guys think Smile

Results are pretty good, but you should try moving EPR to 3 to knock out some flow limits. That can translate to tiredness more than almost anything else. We might want to increase your pressure range by 1 cm, but take a look at the results of EPR 3 first. It should reduce the amount of pressure change you're experiencing.

Thank you! What would my range be then, 8-11 or 7-12? I am not sure what direction to increase my pressure.

Your current presssure is 7.0 to 11.0 with EPR 2. I'm simply suggesting increasing the EPR to 3. I don't think you need to do anything at all with pressure for now as you only had one OA event. We an look at increasing minimum to 8 if the addition of EPR 3 causes a significant increase in OA events. I think you're fine leaving it as-is for now.
