The ahi chart is useless, the pressure chart is important, remove the ahi and mask pressure charts and make the others bigger to fill the space.
Thanks fo the feedback, just uploaded a new version of the diagram replacing the old one.
Ok, now that I can see the pressure curve better, I'd say that you'd probably do better with a min pressure of 12-13 (maybe a bit more) but I'd go to 12, and see if you can't smooth out the pressure trace a little...
You're spending the whole night having breathing issues that cause the pressure to go up, then the machine tries to get back down to that 9 min you have set, which causes more events, pressure goes up, down, repeat...

makes sense, thanks. I'll make the changes to start tonight and report back any improvements during the week. I should be able to tolerate the higher pressure now that I've been on 9 for while.
