I had some centrals in the lab when they tried higher pressures and if I set my upper limit too high on the Autoset it chases snores and then goes high enough to create central events--my guess as to why my apneas rise when upper pressure is increased.
I leave it at 7-12 and it's smooth sailing with AI of 0.0 or 0.2 many nights.
Absolutely! That's probably how and why they came up with your prescribed pressure.

There are other conditions that can disturb your sleep. Restless Leg Syndrome or Periodic Limb Movement Disorder can be keeping you from REM stage. Did your PSG possibly show signs of this?
