Can somone look at these screenshots and give an opinion?

[LGR1]

Hello, new to CPAP, new to the board, new to image uploading... This should be fun....

Can someone look at this typical night, and tell me what you think overall? I am thinking that I need to raise the lower pressure limit, as well as the upper. It's quite a wide range right now, or seems to me, to be. Thanks.

Could you please redo one image and make sure to include the Daily tab with statistics (hide the calendar and pie chart so we can see the statistics instead of the Events tab on the left
and include only these graphs on the right size

Events
Flow rate
Pressure (don't need both mask pressure and pressure...just one is sufficient.
Leak
Flow limitation
you can resize and move the graphs around so that these are easily seen

See this thread
viewtopic/t103468/Need-help-with-screen-shots.html
for examples and hints

Welcome to the forum.

Once I figure it out, I'll do it, might be a while with everything else I've already got going. Thanks.

Without seeing what the pressure settings are it's hard to say what pressures need adjusting.
I suspect the minimum pressure for sure based on the events shown and the flow limitation graph.
In terms of the maximum...don't know because we don't know if the maximum is being pegged out all night or the machine just isn't going higher because it doesn't want to. If it isn't going higher because the machine doesn't want to go higher then changing the maximum by itself is unlikely to change anything at all.
In most situations it is the minimum pressure that is the most critical pressure setting. Sometimes we just have to give the machine a better head start with a little higher baseline pressure.

Also, how are you sleeping and feeling?

Ok, I'm going to give this one more try.

I increased the lower pressure and upper pressure for the past few days. The numbers are just a little worse. Life has been hectic the past week, so I'm not quite sure if it's the pressure, or "life"..... Thanks.

You don't need all those screen images. All we need on the graphs on the right are these
Events
Flow rate
Pressure (don't need both mask and regular pressure and you can turn off one of them in Preferences/Graphs)
Leak
Flow rate (ResMed machine users only because Resprionics doesn't give a flow rate graph)
These can all be resized so that all 5 fit on one easy to read screen image. Just hove the mouse on the bottom line of the graph until you see a little short double line then you can click and drag to resize.

Be sure to include the AHI and statistics details on the left side. Otherwise when you say "the numbers are higher" we can't easily see the numbers and we can't see what your pressure settings actually are.

Welcome,
Learning to post useful Sleepyhead graphs can be confusing.
1. Put your left sidebar back on it has lots of info that we need. But click on the Details tab.
2. Go under File- Preferences- Uncheck show event pie chart
3. Back on your daily screen see the triangle by the date click on it to hide the calender. (just takes up space)
4. To order graphs like Pugsy suggested you just grab and drag to move where you need them.

Hope this helps.

Thanks anyhow, sometime down the road I'll worry about it. Please delete this whole thread.

[Pugsy]

We can't delete the whole thread.
Didn't mean to sound overly critical but when someone posts graphs and asks opinions it really helps us to give more concrete opinions when we can see all the information better.
Especially the AHI stuff on that detailed graph. Hard to give an opinion when we don't have all the information.

But your leak graph is to die for excellent. Mine never ever looks that good.
In general the leak is well controlled and from the events graph we don't see many events and if you are sleeping well and feeling decent then I don't see anything that really warrants any special work.
This therapy is more than just numbers...it's how we feel and how well we sleep.
