RE: New to APAP: should I adjust settings for what looks like treatment CA's?
Thanks for your insights SarcasticDave94 -- I did some more digging and I'm definitely with you that they seem to be an overly minor issue, especially since my sleep study was OSA, not CA dominated. 

I ended up increasing my pressure to 7 (and will plan to increase further due to flow limits and feeling like "I need more air" but will meet with doc before then) and reducing the EPR to 2.  That seemed to do the trick as the last few nights I have had a total of 2 CA events.  Flow Limits are still a bit high but I am feeling pretty good during the day!

You're welcome. Keep at this, it'll pay off soon.

You can always get a coffee to help. Maybe not before bed though, says the guy drinking coffee at 11:03 PM Eastern Time.
