You just decribed the "summary graphs" page. Can you find a tab up top for "detailed graphs" instead? Once you get to the "detailed graphs" page you'll be able to see detailed graphs for "flow" and even "flow limitation".

Only if that lab scores RERAs, and titrated you to eliminate them.

Do you have software for your machine? If so, you could look at your flow limitations (FLs). It won't tell you whether they are causing arousals, but it might give you an idea of how bad they are.

So I finally found the Flow Limitation graph. On average, there are between 2 to 9 "bumps" in one hour. I don't know what the unit is called that describes their size or strength, but the bumps have a HEIGHT of ca 2 bars worth and stretch across horizontally, lasting ca 30 seconds. Does my description make any sense? I'm just not sure what exactly is meant by "mound": should it look like ONE mound spanning across the ENTIRE 8.5 hours of sleep, or many little mound shaped bumps, or what exactly? I know this is going to be hard to describe verbally, but please try to be as specific as possible...

From what I understand now, FL's are precursors to apneas/hypopneas. I guess my pressure is still too low for them to be cleared, even though my AHI is always below 0.3. My recent titration study didn't look for RERA's, so I don't know what's up with those.
