RE: Flow Rate wave form has sharp peaks
Another update. I'm getting there! Increasing both Trigger and especially PS is helping a lot. I'm also going to bump Ti Max to 2.5 sec tonight; I found myself fighting the machine when trying to take deep breaths during my wake cycles.
What's interesting is the machine-reported flow limitations are down even though EPAP was bumped down to its lowest setting (it was previously as high as 7). I'm assuming this means by body needs minimal EPAP to stent the airway but higher pressure support, due to UARS? My original sleep study AHI was ~ 14 and RDI ~ 16, but since this was a level 1 home study I didn't have the breakdown between OAs and Hs. It's very possible I *never* had any OA events.
Tonight I'm pushing to 4.4 PS and increasing Ti Max to 2.5 to see if things improve even further. Thanks again for the support!
