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.

The miniscule number of "FLs" are not the cause of your issues (although your "issues" are not stated).

Further, what few FLs there are, are not FLs, just artifact.
