Your machine thinks the Flow Limitations are bad and need to be killed and that's a big reason why you see the machine want to go a lot higher and max out for a prolonged period of time.

Would you do me a favor and change the max from 4.2 to 6.0 and let me see what happens just for my own education. You can be my guinea pig. Here you go. I'm going to try the max at 6.0 again tonight but without tape. I have done all types of experimentation. I have tried a max of 20 for a short nap...

Yes it is possible to be effectively treated with a pressure so low. Some people don't need much pressure to hold the airway open..that's why I always tell people that there is therapy value even at 4 cm...assuming people aren't uncomfortable with that low of a pressure and some people are just fin...

Obviously one night does not a trend make so let's see how you do at these new settings after a few more nights. Hi Pugsy, it's taken me a while to get back to you because I had a third septoplasty and turbinate reduction surgery. I can now breath through my nose throughout the night without the us...

Sounds good. You have been very helpful and I appreciate it.

Thanks for letting me know that because that was a lot of work. I edited the unnecessary images out. I will update you in a few days.

Hi Pugsy, Just to refresh your memory. I am the one that can not tolerate high pressure settings and have a good amount of flow limitations possibly due to nasal congestion. If pressure is set too high the machine will rev up causing more harm than good. I have determined that the highest I can go w...

I have had the nasal congestion for many years. If I don't use Afrin I get completely congested (even after no Afrin for months) every night when I lay down. During the day I am okay. Sometimes I will have a rebound from the Afrin in the early evening for an hour or so. I have always wondered how mu...

I do have chronic nasal congestion that occurs only at night. I have had 2 septoplasty surgeries that were of modest help. The only thing that has ever really helped me is Afrin but I only use it in one nostril(the one that opens up the most) due to the rebound affect and the potential negative side...

There really isn't much else to try given the limited range of pressures that you seem to be able to tolerate. Should you try something else? I don't know what that would be at this point. I guess that depends on how you feel..how you are sleeping and whether or not you feel that you need to "impro...

Have you tried 6 min and 10 max...if so, what were the results both in the detailed reports and how you slept and how you feel? From what I saw...there's no urgent need to let the machine go higher than 10 if going higher causes you problems and apparently it does. Heck..your AHI with the tight 4 t...

Hi SteveBR. What I didn't understand is that you have a history where you tried allowing the pressure to go higher and you struggled adapting to the higher pressure (The data you posted did not show that history so I thought may be your were mistaken). That is not unusual and with time and changes ...

FALSE. But at this point it almost feels like you're deliberately misunderstanding... sorry if I'm wrong. I tried 8/20 pressure during my nap earlier today. I could not sleep because of the issues that arise every time the upper pressure is over 10 which include chipmunk affect, loud air sound, and...
