Short periods of a lot of CA

Short periods of a lot of CA
Hey there,

I'm about to be 2 month in since I started with CPAP treatment. Since starting I barely experience OA but I still get CA. Anyway, I've been keeping a watch on my Oscar DATA to see if there's improvement and I noticed that I often get short periods of time, about an hour or two, where I experiences a lot of CA, I will attach two images with approx. 40 AHI and 20 AHI. What could it be?

RE: Short periods of a lot of CA
Difficult to tell from two charts, but are you by chance a back sleeper? 

Have you tried higher pressures? 

Also, please post the entire night not just zoomed in sections. Seeing both puts things into perspective.

You might want to compare what events showed in the sleep study as well as what's in OSCAR. This can help with therapy decisions.
