Okay an EPR of 3 is a big jump unless your really having difficulty with resistance. At around 10 in Apap you mentioned you could hardly feel any resistance right? If it were me I would go back to basics. Did your Doc prescribe 13 or 14 straight Cpap? if so do that first no EPR for a while at least ...

The only thing I can think of is that Resmed do not respond to events in Auto mode over 10cm. In that case you would need to set the Minimum at what your doctor prescribed and leave the max at 20 ( works for me). According to that link you posted (thanks for that BTW ), isn't the above incorrect? E...

Here is the link explaining why the machine wont respond over 10cm.

Mislead you a bit. Its a fact resmed machines don't respond to events over 10cm in Auto mode so you need to raise the minimum. It wasn't a deduction but the machine tries to stop them from occurring under 10. The red arrows are how long the events last for and the left hand side is seconds not press...

I've got a friend who's been using CPAP for years and he told me that he woke up from his very first night using it feeling unbelievably refreshed etc, and he's been like that ever since. I guess I've been so desperate to feel better that perhaps I'm a little unrealistic in my expectations......I j...
