Need help with data

Need help with data
Hi all!
29M diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea. Attaching my diagnosis, initial study, and last night on my BIPAP.
That last 3 nights I think look good but I am still so tired and foggy. 
Any suggestions or should I be expecting to feel better yet?

Also, with central apnea happening, brain MRI and echo are normal. Concerned what could be happening.

Thank you so much

RE: Need help with data
I am not a Central Apnea person.
Are you 29 years old?
For OSA
It is going to take several weeks to a few months for you to feel better. If you feel better week to week you are doing good. Its not an over night thing.

Based on the supine vs non supine along with the Max pressure being hit to the roof. I suspect you have Positional Apnea. Although you dont have any clusters.

You might start trying a flatter pillow. or try to side sleep as much as possible.

Others will know more.
Thank you,

RE: Need help with data
It appears you don’t have central apneas turned on to display in OSCAR. Look at the bottom of a daily view for a small gray box under the labels for the charts that has a checked box to the left of 3 letters followed by a down arrow. Click the down arrow and make sure that CA is checked.

RE: Need help with data
thank you for your response! it is not giving me the option to select CA. Is that because of my machine? It will only let me check the 4

I assume this is a new machine?  If so events that have NEVER happened before will not be listed, once you have a central (or other type event) for the first time it will always show after that.

RE: Need help with data
Your sleep study shows clearly mixed/complex apnea, not obstructive. It doesn't necessarily mean that you have anything fundamental wrong, but it's good they're looking into the central events.

That said, AFAIK, the ST doesn't identify central events. I just lists apneas (as obstructive) and hypops. I may be wrong but that's what I think I remember.
