[Treatment] New user settings advice

New user settings advice
Hi guys,

Can I please get some advice on if there is anything to look into changing settings wise? I'm 26M with 6.5 AHI and not really feeling much of an effect from APAP. I know my diagnosis is very mild but I'm still feeling drowsy during the day and finding it hard to stay focused/concentrate/think even with APAP. I've been using APAP for 5 weeks without success and am a few days into restarting it. 

Thanks

RE: New user settings advice
I would suggest you raise the min from 5 to 7. That will allow you to use EPR 3 that you have in your settings. It should stop the large pressure swings and help you sleep.
