In chart 1, all 3 OA events show arousal before the event, inshale and breath-hold. This looks to be turning onto your side or back, not spontaneous obstruction. The hypopnea is flow-limited and likely obstruction.

Lost my post, will type again.

Thanks Sleeprider
I can notice the obvious awakes that appear taller on flow rate. That is about it.

Chapter 7,
It has been a week with my new AirCurve 10 VAuto. I am very glad it occurred to me to purchase a bi-level. I believe the VAuto will improve my sleep and rest more then a auto cpap.
Last night, I increased:
EPAP PS
Mon 12.6 5.0
Tue 13.0 6.0
I did not sleep well, some of that may be because I dozed at bedtime. I was surprised I did not wake up right away.
I remember a few times telling my self to breath. Not as many dream memories.
The Sync Cyc went down to 95% from 3 nights of 97%

It's worth making smaller changes at this stage. Both PS and pressure can be changed in 0.2 cm increments. There is no need to go from 5.0 to 6.0 PS all at once.

Sleeprider,
Thanks,
I am wondering about that. I had not put the SD card in.
I had increased PS the night before, I lowered it again the next day. Now wondering if if should increase PS or EPAP.
I am going to figure it out eventually and staying positive.
I am keeping stuff the same for a couple of days since last night OSCAR looked ok. I did take a migraine med today, and the blurry vision is better now.
Now I need to figure out settings for another AirCurve 10.
RE: KeepSmiling’s Book 2, ResMed AirCurve 10 VAuto Adventure/Treatment
Your patterns of OAs, Hs, and flow limitations strongly suggest a positional element to your respiratory problems. I haven't looked back through the thread, but if you haven't considered using a soft cervical collar during the night, now would be the time. More here:

Dormeo,
I thought chin tuck, but that surprised me since I have not seen it in over two months of monitoring with OSCAR. Then I started wondering since it got colder if I tuck my body.
