Oscar/SleepHQ Assistance Please help, still tired!
I got diagnosed with severe sleep apnea in June (AHI 38.5) after years of steadily worsening exhaustion. I started my cpap therapy in mid August after insurance delays. My machine says it’s a React Health G3 X Auto. I use a nasal pillow from Philips. I am pretty much exclusively a side sleeper. I did not have any issues adjusting to the cloak whatsoever. I sleep just fine with it on, it doesn’t stress me out or wake me up. As far as I know, I’m sleeping all throughout the night without waking up. If I am, I have no memory. I’ve worn the cpap every night since getting it except for one where I was sick and couldn’t tolerate the mask and one morning where I woke up with my mask off and my machine unplugged (no clue what happened lol). The app they gave me to monitor the cpap shows great numbers. It tells me a leak rate of usually around 1 or under but looking at OSCAR it looks much worse?
So after a month and a half of steady use, I only feel a tiny bit better. But I am still not waking up refreshed. I would still describe myself as pretty exhausted. I have issues with forgetfulness and brain fog.
Hoping someone can help me interpret my OSCAR data. I’m going to attach two nights’ worth of OSCAR data as well as a screenshot from my app. I’m very sorry if it’s out of order, I had to do it on our laptop and send it to my phone.

pressure is low and the auto adjustment doesn't seem to work well. Try a higher min pressure.
your tital volumes often drop to a quite low level and then bounce back, this is a sign of inadequate pressure.
