We have to do screen shots and treat them like a photo and put them somewhere like photobucket or imgur and then link to them.

We talk about it here

Your AHI should go down a bit if you turn down the EPR - do you really need it so high?

Which event category increased and caused the AHI to increase? Was it by chance more clear airway events?
If so, next question...how did you sleep last night?

And you really need to figure out how to post images of the detailed reports...just posting a mile long statistical thing that is hard to read doesn't really help much and is hard to comprehend. Remember we have OSA too and sometimes our minds aren't so sharp too.
