A couple of points of information.
The pressure is "cmH2O", not pounds. 1 pound per square inch is about 70 cmH20.
Given that your machine "took off" on pressure, I'd recommend that you only bump up the max pressure a little bit at a time, and watch it carefully as you try each new pressure. However, a pressure of 13 is not that high.
I consider OA to be the most "severe" type of event to have on your charts, with CA being second. Hyponea, flow limitation, Vibratory snore, and RERA are usually somewhat less of a concern. Your OA and CA numbers are rather low.
Periodic Breathing is a much more complicated question, that I'm not really that sure about.
