So if a flow limit shows up does that mean I need additional pressure? What flow limit would show that I would need lower pressure?

In the example you show during the CA it does not show a significant flow limit, does that indicate adequate pressure?

IMO it works fine (although IIWM I'd do a deep dive and work on those FLs a lot more). -- What would I be looking for here to indicate I need higher/lower pressure? Wot? -- With my old mattress I either didn't have any tiredness or it was very mild. If I sleep on my side or stomach I didn't have thi...

With your minimum a 11.6 and the maximum at 12.6 - what would call a major decrease in pressure? The machine, and OSCAR don't give you an average, they give you the median, which means you spend half your time at or above that pressure half at or below The last posting you mentioned that I need to a...

Here is an update. I have been using the N30i and continued to use it but I know I am mouth breathing. Last night I woke up from it around 2:15 and decided to try the KT tape again. I reviewed the graphs and zoomed into the CAs and don't see any decrease in pressure (or at least any major) around th...

Thanks for the reply. I am trying to understand OSCAR, I now see that the pressure is dropping before the CAs. I will try a CPAP setting this weekend as I don't want to impact my work during the week in case things feel worse. Alternatively I will try to bump the pressure up but will need ramp up. I...

Here are the CAs that have been Zoomed in. It seems that the pressure is around 10-11. So do you think I need to bump up my min pressure to 11 and max to 13? I just recall having a lot of CAs last time I did this with a higher max pressure.

Hi All, I think I have found a mouth tape that doesn't rip my skin off (Niveus Gentle Strips). Last night I slept around 4 1/2 hours with the tape on but felt like I was suffocating. I didn't have a chin strap and think it might be needed. Leak rate looks good and while I had 6 CAs I don't think I c...

Hello, Other more experienced people on here will give you more detailed advice but you will want to get the leak rate under control. There are various ways such as cervical collars, chin straps and mouth tape. For me I need both a chin strap and mouth tape. If you have additional graphs that can ex...

I tried the past two nights with no EPR and it was a mixed bag. On the one day I had a lot more CAs and on the other they were about the same. IDK if I am over analyzing this but I truly hope improvement comes soon because I don't know what else I can do to resolve these.

Thank you for advice. I really feel comfortable with EPR at 3. I only had ramp up because I could not fall asleep when my min pressure was 10. I think 8-10 setting would be a better place to try things as it seems to be a good spot for me. The other thing I could try is have a range from 7-10 and tu...

Here are a few lower pressure settings I have been trying at the suggestion of others. https://imgur.com/a/teJLCna I am starting to see hypopneas and Reras (last night). Should I try to disable EPR? I see mixed results in people where it makes it worse for some and better for others. Isn't is suppos...

Thank you both. Crazy enough I have not used mouth tape just switched back to the N30i mask. I will also close the calendar and try lowering the pressure next weekend. I don't want to make matters worse and feel even more tired with work.

Here is the update with the lower 9-11 pressure: Friday night https://imgur.com/taCoFXh Saturday night https://imgur.com/zYtDou4 During Friday night I can't explain after I wake up why I had so many clear airways as I was still awake. In any case I've ordered the SomniFix as well as Nasocort to try ...

Thank you for your reply. I will try the 9-11 and see. I need the ramp up because I tried a while back to start at 10 and could not fall asleep with that pressure. I initially tried pillow masks but that was with a lower pressure (5 instead of 7.4 now) and thought I was suffocating. Once I get the s...

Hi everyone I've had my struggles with CPAP so far and trying to battle this out. I have been working with someone on Reddit and have lowered my max pressure to 12 which have lowered my CA. I am still feeling tired and waking up on a regular basis around 4-5am. Can someone review my OSCAR data and s...
