I am getting frustrated because I can't get my flow limitations to lower for UARS. Will the flow limitations lower only when I hit a sweet spot with EPAP, IPAP, PS etc. or is BiPAP not working for me? I had slightly better days on CPAP. I have my SleepHQ below for reference. If anybody can help, it would be very much appreciated. I am just trying to get a good night's rest.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

Re: Flow limitations not lowering with BiPAP/Bilevel
generally, FL' mean your pressure is too low, I'd start by raising the EPAP by a CM, give it a few days, then bump it again.ec1994 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 24, 2026 11:56 amI am getting frustrated because I can't get my flow limitations to lower for UARS.

Re: Flow limitations not lowering with BiPAP/Bilevel
The miniscule number of "FLs" are not the cause of your issues (although your "issues" are not stated).
Further, what few FLs there are, are not FLs, just artifact.

Re: Flow limitations not lowering with BiPAP/Bilevel
How do you tell between what is artifact and what isn't?

Re: Flow limitations not lowering with BiPAP/Bilevel
Basically my main issue that I am facing is that I took a sleep test that indicates UARS(high RDI and low AHI). From what I understand people with UARS are more sensitive to flow limitations so basically my main goal is to reduce the majority of flow limitations. I am hoping if I can fix the flow limitations I will be able to sleep a full night without waking up.
How can you tell the difference between the FLs and artifacts?
