New to OSCAR, help analysis?
Hello friends,
I've taken a home sleep study and was told that I have OSA, with an AHI of 12.5. I bought an APAP (Philips Respironics REMstar Auto, System One 60 Series) with a Resmed F20 full face mask and have been trying to find the right settings to get my AHI <5 for the past 2-3 weeks.
I've attached screenshots (two zoomed-in) from my latest night.
I have some specific questions:
Thanks, much appreciated!

I have some specific questions:
- It seems like most flagged events occurred after brief spikes in flow rates. Are these signs of false positives?
- I've tossed and turned a lot (restless sleep), but not from mask leaks. Could adjusting the APAP settings help me sleep more peacefully (ex: pressure/A-flex)?
- What range of pressure would be optimum for me? Is a narrow pressure range good? Why?
- I see lots of flagged "RERAs", what should I do to minimize them?
Thanks, much appreciated!
