I have some hints on understanding what you see in the SleepyHead tutorial thread in the Announcements section.

Thank you, Pugsy.

A Philips machine is slow to raise pressure and from your graphs at lower pressures you see you have snores (VS Events) and Hypopnoeas recorded. They clear when your machine finally gets up to the higher pressures. Raising the minimum to 7 or 8 will give it a head start and reduce your overall numb...

Raise your min. pressure to e.g. 7 or 8 - it's very clear it needs more to be effective.

Thank you, Julie and apologise for the delayed response. Was travelling. Why do you say that we need to increase the minimum pressure? Could you please elaborate?

Well, i did increase the starting pressure to 5cm H2O and tightened the straps of the mask a bit. Slept for over 7 hours and AHI=2.22
Do i increase the starting pressure even more?

It is an oldie for sure but still available here in the US.

Thanks, Just ordered some replacement parts from CPAP.Com to ship to US address.

I wonder if you've actually checked your weight lately as I imagine it could have gone up a bit, though could be part of a cycle where apnea not well treated causes lower metabolism, tiredness and difficulty keeping weight off.
