Please review my OSCAR results

Please review my OSCAR results
Been using my AirSense 10 for the past week or two but only got an SD card yesterday. Felt like I was suffocating in the middle of the night so last night I upped min pressure to 7.4 and EPR to 3. Ended up with a much higher AHI (6.01) than in the previous week (1-3). Please let me know what settings I could adjust to improve things. Thanks!

RE: Please review my OSCAR results
Raising pressure and EPR are two things that will increase CA events if you're susceptible to that.

Did you experience CA's on your sleep study? If not, these may just be treatment emergent and will lessen in time.

So for now, set your minimum pressure at 8 and bring the max down to 12. Set EPR to 1. We're looking to lower CA's and at the same time control the Obstructives.

Try this for a couple days and see if there is a difference.
