Sleepyhead graph question

Post by Woody » Thu Jun 20, 2019 8:12 pm

Why would it raise my pressure for a couple of minutes if there were no events ?

That looks like a zoomed in view of the normal test pressure probe that Respironics auto adjusting machines will do.

It's usually a 1.5 or there abouts increase in pressure just to sort of test things out. Has nothing to do with specific events happening or not happening.

This is old but it still applies today.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.
