Help a noob - low AHI but still feeling tired - PeachPhantom - 04-17-2024

Hi all, totally new and have only used my machine for about a week, so I may be jumping the gun(gotta get used to it after all), but I just want to be proactive and make sure my machine settings are looking good relative to my data.

Here's the last 3 nights! Thanks.

Did you do a sleep study? Can you zoom in on the flow rate to better see what is going on?

Are you comfortable with the pressure? You could turn on EPR to 1 and turn ramp off completely and see how you feel-your numbers look good and you're not having many events, there's low level flow limits but those aren't too worrisome....

Did an at home sleep study, diagnosis was mild OSA based on pRDI=12.8 and O2 nadir of 92%. Generally it was low AHI(2.1) but higher RDI(12.7) which I understand could actually be UARS? 

The pressure feels completely fine, I will try EPR 1 and no ramp tonight and see how it goes! Here's a zoomed in flow rate as well.
