Please help interpret oscar chart

Please help interpret oscar chart
Hi guys,

Struggled mask leaks with full face masks for several months, until 12 days ago starting with nasal pillow, I also began to use Oscar daily to track my leaks. Leaks mostly controlled, while AHI mostly around 5 sometime going up to 7 or so. 

CPAP: Resmed Airsense 11
Mask: F&P Nova Micro
Mouth taped.

I'm mainly a side sleeper but sometime changing positions.

Could you please check my data to see whether anything I could improve when you have a chance? Any suggestion highly appreciated.

Thank you!

RE: Please help interpret oscar chart
Welcome

you have a lot of flow limits remaining and your median pressure is pretty high so i would raise minimum to 10 and increase EPR to 2 or 3.

It looks like you are experiencing positional apnea which is causing the machine to raise the pressure almost to the maximum, have a read from the wiki but maybe you are chin tucking? or using large pillows? or simply on your back..

Thanks Narcil, I'll try to adjust pressure and EPR first, then look into the positional apnea issue.  Thanks
