Can someone help interpret this data?
OHello!
Very new to CPAP (one month) but it has changed my life. Sleep study AHI was 18.9 and now it’s negligible. I have energy and feel refreshed in the morning like never before. It is AMAZING.
Would like to optimize my therapy. Listening to Uncle Nicko it seems I still have lots of ‘spikes’ in my data. I slowly changed the pressure range from what my provider had (5-20; EPR 3; Humidity 6) to 5-13; EPR 2; Humidity 4. This has helped with side effects (mainly severe aerophagia and rainout that woke me up). I still have some aerophagia, headaches, central apneas (had ZERO in sleep study) and spikes in pressure/flow limits/etc. What do you make of my data and potential further optimization?

Thank you! I couldn’t edit original post as it was past 15 mins from posting. So I attached it above. Hope that worked (and that it is all the right data!).
Your profile shows you are using SleepyHead. Two problems. One, SleepyHead will not read the AS11 data, and two, that image is not a SleepyHead's.

Download the free OSCAR software. Be sure you have an SD card inserted in your Cpap while sleeping.

Thank you SO much for reading and responding!! I’m using the SleepHQ app, uploading my CPAP SD card data via an OTG reader to my iPhone. I don’t have consistent access to a PC that I have admin rights to install OSCAR on. Does the SleepHQ data not contain all the info needed? It is definitely a million times better than the MyAir app…
