ahi went up with pressure increase

I was snoring while using my Resmed with face mask. So I upped the pressure from 15 to 15.6. The snoring quit, but my AHI went from 2.2 to 3.8. I brought the pressure down to 15.2. The AHI went down to 2.2, and the snoring is still gone. Coincidence?

What is the make up the ahi in each case? Were obstructive events going up, or centrals, or both?

Probably coincidence. It's normal to have a fairly wide range of results even if we don't change anything.

I get ranges of 0.40 to 3.00 AHI all the time and not long about I had a 10.2 stuck in between two sub 1.0 AHI nights.
Go figure that one.
And I haven't changed a thing.

I will watch it for a month to see what happens, thanks.

yes

random noise

nothing is constant

try watching each setting for 30 days and then compare results

This is a perfect example of "random noise."
