For starters try setting your minimum and maximum pressure support to 4cm. Hopefully that will help reduce your CA events. To offset the reduction in pressure support you'll also need to increase the EPAP from 12cm to 14cm.

Comparing the settings changes between the 2 graphs and the resultants, the reduction in pressure support, as Walla Walla recommended, will move you in the right direction. I think you should do exactly as Walla Walla advises and I have a feeling that you may be ticking down even further on pressure support. Keeping the changes gradual and easy is a great approach.

reddogsuix, what Walla Walla and JesseLee said, and one more instruction: one change at a time, and give it a few days before changing again.  (In fact, it would be best to seek advice before making changes – much better than getting advice from YouBoob, which can't respond to your feedback!)

You're going great; wish I had made the progress you've made as quickly as you've done!

Actually you need to make two changes. If you don't increase the EPAP when you reduce the Pressure Support you end up dropping the IPAP down which would result in more obstructive apneas. It sort of goes hand in hand when adjusting pressure support on a BPAP.

So in your opinion what what it look like Min EPAP 13 Max IPAP 18.5  PS 3.0 - 5.5
something like this?
