Sometimes my graphs look okay, but too often they look like the one below.
My graphs are very inconsistent. Can anyone tell me more about this one? It's

It looks like you are mouth breathing, You can try lots of things. I chose a mask that covered my mouth as well. I found the f20 worked for me in the end.

ABOUT CLEAR AIRWAY INCIDENTS: I was going to ask in this message thread but it's probably
better to start a new thread.
