Re: setting to reduce stomach bloating
Can you also post a redacted copy of your sleep study as it looks to me like the difference between epap and ipap is too large and should be reduced

Re: setting to reduce stomach bloating
Sorry Guys. I don't mean to waste anyone's time. This is all new to me. I thought I had posted what was asked for. I'll try again.
Thanks in advance.

Re: setting to reduce stomach bloating
It's been a while since I posted an update, so I wanted to share what I did and see if I'm on the right track.
I switched the mode to auto, and then set the PS to 5 and set a max ipap of 18. (originally the mode was set to S and the EPAP and IPAP were 10 and 20.
The stomach bloating is much better. it's not 100% resolved, but it's a lot better.
I know you're not crazy about the overview view, but I wanted to share some of the results of the changes. The AHI is lower and the time in Apnea seems better as well. The one thing that I'm not sure if this is good or bad, is the Flow limitation. Previous to the change there was none or no reading, and now there seems to be some. Is this a bad thing, and if so, how bad. I've also included a daily view. I hope this is helpful as it's what was requested before.
I appreciate and feedback you can provide.

Re: setting to reduce stomach bloating
Your flow limitation graph is well within acceptable limits. In fact it's actually super good looking.
Not sure why no FL when in S mode with the high PS but I imagine the high PS just blew any FLs totally out of the water. Doesn't look like you had much FLs anyway.
Now this is a bad FL graph....just so you can get some perspective.

Re: setting to reduce stomach bloating
Low AHI great numbers well done
Did you get your prescription to find out was it your Dr or the dme who messed up the settings
