I guess my questions about my data remain somewhat similar as before: I was wondering, are these charts enough to tell I have sleep apnea because I was also wondering if my symptoms of brain fog and fatigue could be from long covid (I don't remember having covid during this time but I guess it is a possibility)? Should I make any changes to my settings at this point or leave them as is? Thanks!

The chart show your sleep apnea is properly treated by the pressure you're using.

I'm quite short sighted, can't cross a street safely with my glasses.

My eye sight with my glasses is almost perfect, and I can drive a car safely day and night.
Which does not tell anyone a thing about my eye sight without my glasses.
Same with sleep disordered breathing, aka sleep apnea. We know nothing about how disordered your breathing becomes when you sleep without a CPAP.

+1 i'm glad I saw your comment before I typed in something similar.

to the op: it's also not a good idea to sleep without your CPAP on, no matter for how short a period of time. you want to try to train your brain to get used to this contraption. and that means leaving it on until the brain learns to live with it.
