New User - Seeking some insight
A huge thanks to everyone on this forum - the posts on here I've browsed through have been very helpful! I recently started with a CPAP a few weeks ago after being diagnosed with severe apnea - 40 AHI (mostly OSA, but a central component as well). I was given a ResMed 10 AutoSet with P10 nasal pillows. So far I find the equipment pretty comfortable, but seem to be subconsciously taking the mask off in the middle of the night. The OSA seems to be mostly taken care of with the CPAP, but I can't seem to get the CA and Hypo apneas under control. I also live at altitude (about 5400 feet) which may contribute to the CA. I'm really concerned about the super high AHI early on in the night. I just recently turned off EPR last night. Attached is my OSCAR report from last night. I appreciate everything in advance!

OSCAR
First of all, welcome to the forum - you have come to the right place for advice!
Spend some time learning OSCAR and how, and what to include on your screenshots. There are many graphs to chose from, and certain ones are more helpful than others. There is a "standard view" which is the most helpful. I would have to look it up to give you the correct charts to post, and someone will come along and let you know what they are. I use 5 - top to bottom they are flow rate, mask pressure, tidal volume, minute vent, & resp. rate. I currently use a ResMed ASV auto.
