robmooee,
Having used a Respironics machine now for almost 5 years, and playing around with the Flex setting, I know firsthand that using it (for some folk) will never yield great results.
A setting of 3 is horrible (really disrupts breathing), 2 is ok, 1 or OFF works well for most.
There will always be a trade off between lowering the CA’s and/or trying to lower the Obstructives. You also have some FL driving your pressure. You will need to find that balance and what makes you feel best in the morning or gives you the best possible night sleep.
I suggested in my post #2 above to turn Flex off, which you tried and felt you couldn’t breathe out against the pressure. Understandable! When I first started, I couldn’t imagine how anyone could exhale at a pressure of 4. This feeling will change as you get used to the pressure.
With the changes you made, CA’s went down and Obstructives, Hypopneas, Rera’s up a little.
Of course, it’s only been a couple nights. You need to give it time.
Good job on the charts, but going forward, please revise and drop and pie chart and calendar.
This way we can see the stats that are below that.
Also, unless asked by someone, you can whittle the charts down to only showing the following graphs: Events, Flow Rate, Pressure, Leaks. Include left sidebar, minus pie chart and calendar.
I suggest you keep Flex turned off.
I know...we’re picky...
