Why are you turning the machine off so many times? You could try turning off the ramp if you are using it and/or increase the min pressure to 10. Overall, it really doesn't look that bad.

Thank you LSAT. Not using ramp. I appreciate the raise to 10 suggestion.

A bit more min pressure could help - you also have very small amounts of flow limitation and snoring. I'd try 9.5 or 10 cm h2o as your min. Your sleep seems rather fragmented...are you having problems wearing the mask?

I suggest raising the high end too. I have my high end at 20, but it never actually goes there.

There is no reason to increase the OP max, he is not ever approaching the set max. Increasing the minimum may help as some of the hypopneas occurs when the machine is at it's relatively lower pressure, due to restarting.

All this time on the forum making snarky cutting comments, and you still haven't read any of the MANY "how to post your data" threads of information. :shaking head:

See below.

Pale Rider. You were right. Your link was very helpful. It is good that you are willing to help educate less experienced forum users. Keep
up the good work.

Here's a spot of advice, take a lesson from Gator5000e, who obviously spent a little time on the forum *READING* and *LEARNING*... perfect data post right out of the gate.

You? you were obviously too busy making cutting sarcastic troll posts to learn anything at all.

Try and be more like Gator5000e.

Does it look like the examples? Does it look like gator5000e's screenshot? Do you have redundant things on the page causing the charts to be scrunched up so they're too small to be meaningful?

(no, no, yes)
