Another Graph, another tired day

Still trying to figure things out.....

Is my machine having a difficult time increasing pressure to stop events, or is EPR (current setting 2) hindering the process thus causing the events?

Since EPR is for patient comfort for breathing out where do you draw the line (if that's the problem)?

I welcome your comments:

Have you tried turning down or off the EPR to see what happens over a couple of nights? That would be the best way to actually find out, rather than having someone else here guess at things...

No matter what machine or pressure you use, you will never stop ALL events. Your numbers look great. Relax.

epr lowers your baseline pressure by the amount it's set to. so, 2cm less than your set pressure.

try turning it down, or off, see how you feel.

Really wasn't asking for a guess...well maybe an educated guess .....Thanks for your support.

but, it is a guess, since different people respond differently.

I didn't use epr when i was on a plain machine, it didn't do anything for me. I played with it for a bit, and didn't feel any benefit, so I turned it to zero.

some people swear by it, some people swear at it. figure out which you are.

Agreed.....For me with EPR on I feel as if I breath out a little more comfortable, but that's only while getting to sleep.
