Welcome to the forum.

You might want to start a new thread of your own so you can get the help you deserve and not have it get lost in this old thread.
See the Sticky at the top of the main topics page...."Newbies please read first".

From a quick look at your report....it's the minimum that probably needs the increasing and not so much the maximum.
It's very possible that with a more optimal minimum that the pressure won't go to 13 so much.
These machines work the best by preventing the airway from collapsing in the first place and not so much trying to fix it after the fact.

I would think maybe 7 or 8 minimum instead of the 5 and maybe go ahead and increase the max to 15 or more. It won't go up there if it doesn't have a good reason.

Thanks i’ll try the increased settings. The doc started me at 4 on the low side and 20 on the high, it was so high I couldn’t keep a mask seal.
