Should I care?

I just had my appointment with the APRN -- the best I can do since I have a mild case of apnea.

I use OSCAR and I see that my leak rates have skyrocketed since I started growing facial hair.

The nurse looked at a report from my memory card and noticed the usage and AHI. No mention of the leaks. The leaks average in the 30 l/min range.

Should I be worried? Is this just par for the course or worse. I feel good and think the current therapy is sufficient but I still worry especially if my medical personal are less than attentive.

Is that "30 L/min range" number the median average number or the 95% number? OSCAR shows both.
