Here is the data collected by the machine, it seems accurate, just not transferring to the SD card. I will try a different SD card.

Re: Self-Diagnosing, Looking for Min/Max Pressure Recommendations

Yes, last night I didn't even get summary data. When I put the SD card in, it just says "Wait.. Reading SD card" for a few moments and then it goes to the home screen. :?

Someone on here said that the Sleep Quality setting should be set to "ON instead of USAGE for the machine to record any detailed data to the SD card." Mine was set to usage, so it sounded like this was going to fix my problem. I put the SD card in again, used it again last night, and now that I'm tr...

Re: Self-Diagnosing, Looking for Min/Max Pressure Recommendations

Your SD card MUST be in the machine when in use to get any of the detailed graphs. You can't stick it in after the fact and get the details. The only thing stored in the machines internal memory is the summary data...that stuff you see on the left side. Practice using the machine today while awake ...

Re: Self-Diagnosing, Looking for Min/Max Pressure Recommendations

I could not fall asleep with the mask on last night. I turned the minimum pressure back down which made it feel slightly more tolerable but I couldn't relax enough to fall asleep with the thing on, even after taking melatonin. I took it off fell asleep immediately, and woke up about midway through t...

Re: Self-Diagnosing, Looking for Min/Max Pressure Recommendations

What size Pilario are you using? I forget if it offers much in sizing options. Been a long time since I tried it but it should NOT cause pain at all. I believe there is only one size for this model. THanks for the lanolin tip, I'll get that tomorrow. For now, I'll try leaving the nasal pillow a lit...

Re: Self-Diagnosing, Looking for Min/Max Pressure Recommendations

Set the minimum to 7 cm...EPR on full time and set it to 3 and see how you feel with your breathing. Gotta get you comfortable breathing or you won't ever be able to fall asleep and without sleep the data the machine gathers is useless. Turn ramp off if you have it on. It felt a bit better at 7cm b...

Re: Self-Diagnosing, Looking for Min/Max Pressure Recommendations

Hi everyone, I am typing wearing the CPAP right now. I live in a very dry area and often fight dry nostrils so I turned the humidity up to 4.5. I feel pretty congested right now but also felt congested before I put the CPAP on. The pressure currently sits at 5 and I feel a bit like I'm fighting for ...

Self-Diagnosing, Looking for Min/Max Pressure Recommendations

Hi, I'm a 21 year old man from CA. I've been fit and relatively healthy my whole life, but I've always had problems with sleep. It always seemed to me that no matter how many hours I slept, I would always wake up tired. I always felt like I needed 9-10 hours just to function. Over the past couple ye...
