MY AHI went up to 27.34 last night, averaging over 20 since I came back from Asia on Apr 10 - Need Help !!!

Hi, I have been using a Resmed AirSense 10 Autoset since April 2017. The pressure was set at 5-10 initially, and AHI was good for first 3 months ( under 6 ), using Airfit F20 medium cushion ( which was very uncomfortable ). The technician switched me to Airtouch F20 ( memory foam ) medium cushion in July 2017 (which was more comfortable) and I have been battling with leakages issues and higher AHIs. In December, The technician finally figured that that need a small cushion instead, I finally switched to the small size of the Airtouch F20, and the leakage issue was fixed ( the cushion was a bit small, and I wonder if a medium for "Her" may be better for me ?? ).

Yet my AHI was still not within target ( ranging mostly 10 - 15 ), My sleep doctor reset the pressure a couple months ago to 5-15, and still not working well. After figuring out how to reset it myself and started using SleepyHead on Mar 8, I reset to 5-17 on March 8. March 8-31 AHI averaged 11.6, which was good for me compared to previously. I went to Asia for a month from Mar 12 to Apr 9. The best AHI I had was the last week in Asia, averaging 7.1.

However, after I came back on Apr 10, my AHI has been very high,ranging from low of 13 to high of 27 ( last night ). :? I really need help to figure out what to do next. I am new to SleepyHead and do not know how to purge and upload the data onto this post.

Thank you so much for reading this post !

I don't know what you mean by "purge". Don't delete any data. See the three posts below for help.
