My min pressure was on 8 last night and looking through my night's data and the night before, my flow limitations were far less on pressure 12/13. I don't mind those pressures that much. Would it be a bad idea to increase my min to 12 so suddenly if i did it today? Would it cause centrals?
I am using the Phillips Dreamstation Auto CPAP with full face mask.
Is it a bad idea to change my pressure by a few pts suddenly?

Naa, change them and see what happens. You can try anything you choose.
Un-treated AHI = 9.5
Titrated prssure: 6 cm
Ave. AHI after therapy = 0.5
Ave. Snore Index = <10
Current pressure = 9 cm

Do you think you slept better with lower flow limitations? Is your AHI low? If yes to both, then sure, you could try 12; alternatively, you could go up one cm H2O at a time.

pressure induced centrals *can* happen, but they're rare, only a small percentage of people experience them.
