24 CA events, I am practically worried. - Ddobson85 - 09-30-2024
I stopped my Cpap because it was costing me so much money every month since I have horrid insurance but decided to give it a go again and my CA events read high but I can't tell from looking at Oscar if this is something I should be worried about? Are there any experts who would be willing to help me out by looking at this and letting me know? My RERA events are also high.
Thank you to anyone who can help me!

Sorry, not got any answers for you. But it might help others if you post a chart 'un-zoomed' and with the calendar turned off. That would then let us see your machine settings in more detail.

I have attached the unzoomed in ones but now I have 30 CA events. I think I will schedule something with my dr.

What did your detailed sleep study report tell you? If you don't have this detailed report, get it ASAP. You need to know what you're treating, you need this report in your personal health file. And you can post the redacted of your personal info report here too.
Also it looks like your OSCAR chart shows the Positional Apnea pattern that comes from tucking your chin and kinking off the airway. Take a look at this wiki on the subject HERE.

I agree with the above sugesstion.
In the meantime, I suggest increasing your maximum pressure to 12 cm because you are hitting your current pressure ceiling. Also, increase your minimum to 9 cm.
It would also be better to turn your ramp off and set your EPR to 1.
