[CPAP] Central events and oscar data Help
#1
Help reading data, Central events
I've just started CPAP about two months ago, and now I am having what appear to be clear airway/Central events.  It appears to be getting worse and I don't have a doctor's appointment for another month.  Two nights ago I was up to 23ahi which I know isnt very high, but I can definitely feel the effects of that night vs when I first started.
I've included two nights and a 10min snap shot.
I have plenty more data if needed
Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Central events and oscar data Help
Hello all, Ive been on CPAP for about 2.5 months now.  It was going fabulous at first but I feel the last month has gotten progressively worse.
In my checking of my OSCAR data I think I am having central events.  It would be awesome if any of the awesome OSCAR people out there can help me out.

My limited knowledge, to me appears have CA as dominant Apnea's, and is often from higher pressure. but at same time with your restless sleep may also combination of junk sleep tossing & turning, holding breathe. I suggest to reduce pressure, as do on previous low fixed pressure, the H & O Numbers under control. The from increasing pressure will not assist to stop CA, most often will do reverse, actual induce more CA's? I see previous low fixed level O & H were under control & holding low AHI, except for CA's so is the CA's need to work on which mostly from lower pressure & No EPR. The possible junk sleep may be related the restless sleep while also up checking machine turning on, off machine.
