Welcome and please show the whole Flow Limit graph in your screen shot as it may show some valuable info. You will get some great advice from this group.

Hi, firstly your initial 3 graphs would have been just right, but as already commented, the flow limitation graph was obscured.
To fix this, you can reduce the width of each graph just a little by using your mouse, by Clicking on the seperating lines, when the hand appears, drag upwards, or downwards to enlarge if necessary.
The other possibility is to go to Preference/Appearance/Graph height, and reduce, perhaphs to 120, but for you to decide your particular screen type.
To summarise, we need to see just these five essential graphs, Events, Flow Rate, Pressure, Leak Rate and Flow Limitations.
Concerning your graphs and settings.
You have several instances of positional apneas. This is characterised by the clustering of events, and is also visible in the flow rate graph.
Your minimum pressure also appears too low, as evidenced by the considerable pressure swings, and the presence of obstructive apneas.
I would suggest that initially increase your minimum pressure to 10 which should start to help.
Note, please review about positional apnea , it is really an important item. Pressure changes will not solve this issue. Are you sleeping on your back by any chance?
Are you sleeping on your back ?
However there are several possible solutions, either by using a soft cervical collar, use of a thinner pillow, avoiding supine sleeping, but privileging side sleeping
Please repost your graphs after having modifying your minimum pressure.
Thanks
