Maybe the Effexor was prescribed for depression/anxiety?

Click on the "Events" tab and you will get itemized lists of the events including the length of each one.

The second image at the posted link shows the itemized events. I can't get all of the centrals to show because the list is too long. Is there a way to show the entire list of 79 centrals?

oh, I had... I just thought it appropriate to point out your failing, given that you were so busy pointing out everybody else's... now, perhaps you TOO can help "sweet Lars" by heeding some advice:

Tee hee AND she gets more knowledgeable over the years!

Watching Julie and PR trip over themselves and try to defend themselves, is funnier yet.

Pugsy, I hope this is what you wanted to see. I have two screenshots, one with 4 CAs and one with 5 CAs. http://imgur.com/a/bpjRO

I did communicate some of my results to my doctor's office the other day and they called back today and moved my appointment up to next week. It sounds like the doctor is planning to change me from a CPAP to a bilevel PAP.

Those 2 screen shots of the centrals zoomed in are perfect. I was wanting to see if the flow rate looked like Periodic Breathing or Cheyne Stokes Respiration and they don't.

Go ahead and try the turning off EPR experiment just to say we tried it. I have seen maybe a handful of people where the centrals went away simply by turning off EPR/exhale relief. It's really rare to have EPR be the trigger but it does happen sometimes.

It's good that the appointment got moved up. You may end up needing one of those high dollar bilevel ASV type of machines.
