Thanks for sharing. Changed my settings last night: 5.5 ramp, 6.6 max, EPR 1. AHI was 9.1, CSR 0. Seeing pulmonologist tomorrow, will definitely share outcome. Thanks again!
Thanks so much for checking up! I appreciate you taking the time to help me!

I had 3 beers last night, and my numbers went up. But typically on nights where I'll have a glass or two of wine/beer, and my AHI is 5 or under. Weird, I know.
Over the last 104 days, I've had CSR events under 6.0, 58 times, and 0.0, 39 times. Spoke with my pulmonologist after a month of therapy, and my CSR and CA events were quite high. She wanted to wait another 6 weeks before doing an in-clinic sleep study. Within that period, my AHI numbers improved significantly. It's only been over the last two weeks that my numbers have gone up quite a bit. I'm noticing I'm sleeping on my back more, but don't know if that would impact CSR or CA events.
I'm 49 yrs old, BMI of 24.4, have regular physicals. Started doing some reading on CSR events and got a bit nervous. Was able to schedule an appt with my pulmonologist Monday, so hope will be able to get some better direction. Thanks again for all your help! Can't tell you how much I appreciate it!
I can't thank you enough! You're response and advice are greatly appreciated! I feel like I've got a bit of control over using my cpap, and with some continued tweaks my numbers will lower to under 5.
I'll try lowering ramp to 5 and max pressure to 6 to see how that works. I'm in New Jersey so elevation isn't an issue. I am taking medication for hypothyroidism - 100mcg of Levoxyl daily. Read that thyroid issues might impact sleep apnea, but not sure if that applies to individuals that are being treated.
Thanks again for all your help!
Apologize for multiple screenshots - can't minimize the data readout to fit on one screen.
AHI went down, which is great. Let me know your thoughts.
Trying this tonight. Thank you so much!
Yes, had at home sleep study, while sleeping on a wedge pillow which pulmonologist said skewed actual AHI. AHI was 17 at study.
Couldn't figure out how to take a screenshot of entire screen - had to take multiple pics.
