Sometimes you need to experiment... move the 4 to 6 or 7 for a few nights to see how it goes, but leave the high setting alone. That little change won't hurt anything - it's still very low as things go.

Re: need help knowing if my sleep chart is good or bad or needs adjusted
If you look at the pressure chart, it is bumping up against the 14 pressure limit, then dropping down until another event happens, it goes up, then drops again, repeating the cycle over and over all night long. My pressure line seldom varies more than 1 cm and my AHI averages less than one for the last six months.kdt15 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2020 1:51 amany reason why you suggest he min 12? im at default or 5-20Okie bipap wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2020 5:23 pmYour charts are too difficult to read.

As a starting point for now, I recommend you set your minimum pressure at 12 and your maximum pressure at 20.

As a starting point for now, I recommend you set your minimum pressure at 12 and your maximum pressure at 20.
Suggestions for appropriate minimum pressures are based on the way the pressure chart looks over the entire night.
