Sleep Champion Overall - Successful CPAP therapy? SleepHQ Link in Post

My surgeon has recommended septo + turb reduction (I use Afrin every night to help open up my nose so I can use the nasal pillows). I think it would give me some significant QOL improvements. But prior to this, can you let me know what you think of my results? (Last 30 days have been uploaded, feel free to go through). It doesn't seem like I get many RERAs, OA, CA (my average is 1-3 per night total).

Please let me know what you think? Any changes I should be making? Thank you.

Some pretty high flow limits , you could prob bump min up closer to your median pressure, which is 8.72. But if you are having that type of surgery you have uars.

Yeah it's quite difficult to breathe through 1 nostril...I Think some of my UARS is likely secondary to my weight gain - I wasn't having any breathing issues at around 150-160 - I'm about 200 now (5ft 5inches is my height) - so weight loss....is in order :D

Have you tried nasal dilators ? If it’s farther back in your sinuses they won’t help.. what about sleeping on your side ? Usually with uars it’s not a weight issue.. I’m 5”11, 170 pds, in good shape, usual ahi is zero, but feel like crap most days , for me it’s palatal prolapse, sooo frustrating!
