Help in interpretation of Sleepyhead results: clear airway events

[reinvigorated]

I could really appreciate your help. I've been using the machine for a few nights and I've been trying to analyze the data. But I think I'm a bit lost. Specifically, the machine was prescribed to treat UARS/RERA. I had RERA index of 9.5 during the diagnostic study and AHI of only 0.44. However, the machine is painting a different picture - my average AHI is around 4-5.

So I'm trying to answer three questions:

1. Should I continue the therapy if I don't see improvement?
If anything, I seem to feel worse after the nights when I use CPAP. Mostly, because it acts as a mild disturbance/distraction.

2. What explains the difference between the study and the machine data?
I see no RERAs but I do see lots of clear airways events.
Is it that the machine is no accurate / is that I'm doing something wrong and it leads to the events miscategorization / or should I trust the data?

3. If I were to continue, what adjustments should I consider making to further optimize the treatment and increase the odds of success?
E.g. pressure, EPR, RAMP, humidification, etc

----

How would you personally interpret this data and answer these questions?

I'm new to these so I apologize if I miss something obvious.

Thank you so much!

Read this and watch all the videos especially the last one. I don't think that cpap is causing your centrals. More likely the clear airway/centrals you are seeing flagged are arousal or post arousal related and not real.
