You still have a pretty high amount of Central Apnea. Any update on getting the sleep study? It can definitely clue us in on these CA you've got.

RE: New to the forum. Would appreciate any advice
Yes, I actually received the sleep study data a few days ago but completely forgot to upload the information. Here it is below:

OK even during this split study you can see Centrals increase due to PAP pressures. Actions will be based on whether or not Centrals continue to remain high like this. I think keeping notes about this as a disturbance to well rested sleep a good idea. And then reporting your concern to the doctor. It would be interesting to see where they are going to trend in the near future. These CA are showing the consistently inconsistent trait. I'm not certain what other edits to settings can be done.
I know I'd not recommend actual BPAP as it'll very likely go far worse than it is now. Straight CPAP maybe unless you've already tried it. Or last result maybe is get ASV titration for idiopathic/unknown cause CA.
