RE: New to the board, not CPAP.
You generally want a 2 minute view as was provided by the OP. What is shown is a disturbance proceeding the CA which is followed by normal breathing without a recovery breath typical of OA.

The closer view hides both what led up to and what follows the event.

RE: New to the board, not CPAP.
codemajic, do you have any charts from before you raised pressure? It's possible you could tolerate lower pressure, but with a soft cervical collar. Positional apnea tends to cause intense clusters of obstructive apnea and hypopnea that usually don't respond to pressure. I just want to see if it is possible we should review an alternative approach in your case. Take a look at the Positional Apnea article and see what you think http://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.php...onal_Apnea

RE: New to the board, not CPAP.
I would not use a neck brace / hard collar. The idea is to be comfortable. Mostly I was just curious what the type and pattern of events were before you raised pressure.
