If your willing to experiment, let's narrow the pressure a little more.  
Try a minimum of 7cm with a maximum of 9cm.  Try to keep EPR at 1.

Results from last night.....Woke up and stomach was pretty uncomfortable just from a max pressure of 9 not sure why this is.

RE: Help reading my Oscar Results
Line up your Pressure graph with the Flow Limitation graph.  Remember that flow limitation drives the pressure to whatever your maximum is set at.  And it seems you're experiencing Aerophagia at 9cm.  

I thought maybe the auto mode with a narrower range may work, but you may want to go back to a static pressure.  

Stay in the Auto Mode, but set your pressure to 7 min - 7 max.  Keep EPR at 1 for now.
We can titration upwards in small increments depending on what pressure starts causing Aerophagia.  

Taming the Swallowing of Air should be priority over your AHI reading.

Just curious is there a reason for leaving it on Auto with 7-7 wouldn’t that be the same as setting it on Cpap mode with a constant pressure or 7? Thanks

Old habits. Older models reported more charts in Auto mode so most of us prefer to stay in Auto mode. Specifically Flow limits were not reported when in CPAP mode so if we don't see them we start troubleshooting why. From a therapy point of view it makes no difference.

Resmed10user - Since your two threads deal with your therapy, I have merged them for easier reference to your historical data. I will be following this post up with a PM to you about this merge.
