Hello dear ApneaBoard comunnity 

Please, can someone help me interpreting the next flow rates?

Thanks in advance

Hi Poco and welcome! I see you are new to the boards, I am also new!

I will be useless in helping you interpret your charts, however I can give you some advice that might help you and the person to
help you!

Turning off temporarily while taking your images the sidebar, pie chart and calendar helps to ensure all of the valuable information
can be easily spotted. Instructions on this and some other tips is available here:

Also, what are the concerns as to your flow rate? Do you suspect something specific or do you just feel it looks odd?

Lastly I must say looking at your graph and others will correct me if wrong, it actually looks like the machine did not record data for
a brief period, possibly as it was unable to detect usage?

I do see it throws a "breathing not detected" event which I was not aware the machine could actually throw.

Hi jato, 

Thank you for your advice and your contribution. I'll work on that the next time.  

Regarding the flow rates, I'm thinking about Post Sigh apnea or epiglottis collapse. Every time that I detected this event on the tracings, I also noticed that I woke up with the desire to urinate (The not breathing detected period). Also, if you see the tracings, there is a vibratory snore event at the same time and it tends to repeat every night.
