RE: I think my settings are not optimal
Welcome to Apnea Board. I see you have changed the EPAP Min on the 12th of November and things improved some according to the summary page. It's not surprising 2 ways, most doctors don't get prescribed settings per individual very well chosen. Secondly the DreamStation machines require more setting edits after usage, as these aren't as forgiving of settings too low for your needs. The settings for these Respironics needs adjusted very close to optimum or it gives less than good therapy.
You still have some more adjusting to do with your Respironics. I'd suggest moving the EPAP Min up to 8 as that's where you were at for most of the night as the minimum. OSCAR shows 8 was your 95% number.
