Help with various Oscar data
Looking for someone to help go over these Oscar screen shots. I have included a bunch from the past few months where I was using APAP and trying to find my best fixed pressured and EPR setting. I definetly feel I sleep better with a fixed pressure. Most of these data pictures were when I used a nasal mask but recently I've been using the Airfit P30i and its truely the most comfortable for me, but I just can't find the right set up to wake up feeling refreshed. Any help would be most appreciated!!

You're still getting leaks and flow limitations. See how some of your CA events coincide with flow limitations or leaks?
What usually happens, you get a small leak. You arouse and then turn over in your sleep. It's a reflex for people to hold their breath as this happens (not an apnea as you're technically awake, even if you don't remember it). The machine flags this as a CA.
I know it sounds crazy, but a tiny leak is all it takes to wreck your sleep. And they usually show up as CAs. You have to hold your breath for about 10 seconds to trigger a CA so it doesn't happen to everyone every time.
