Abnormal?
Hello, I am new to apneaboard and hope I am doing this correctly. This is my chart from last night. I have been on therapy for several months and still very fatigued. I am on auto c-pap because my insurance did not approve a clinic sleep study. My settings were initially set at 5-20, but I was constantly swallowing air, so the dme switched it to 5-12 and turned the epr on to 3. Is epr just a comfort setting or is it therapeutic as well? I am wondering if I turn it off, I might have better results. Also I really don't have any issues with the mask, so I don't think that is the problem. From what I have researched and from the videos I watched my flow rate doesn't look like I am receiving many benefits from the APAP. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
