Flow limitations not lowering with BiPAP/Bilevel

Post by ec1994 » Mon Aug 24, 2026 11:56 am

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.

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.
