May 2022 UPDATE
It's been 2 months since I last posted. I've kept the same settings for 60 days and have had good results.
AHI: 2.4 (even had one night AHI=0.90!)
Large Leak: <2.0%
% Minutes in Apnea: < 1%
Sleep Efficiency: >90%
Sleep Latency: <9 minutes
I feel rested when I wake up, even though I'm still averaging just 6 hrs of sleep. Most importantly, I've only had 1 parasomnia event in a month vs 9/month when I started CPAP 2 months ago.
I credit these results to the advice and guidance I received on this website, particularly from Sierra. I feel like I've got my life back. Thank you so much!
It is good to hear that you are making good progress. An acceptable goal for AHI is less than 5.0. It looks like you have made it. When dealing with both OA and CA at the same time it is more difficult. The best pressure setting tends to be a compromise.
