Fabby - May I suggest that you go into File > Preferences > Appearances and set your graph height to about 120.  I think it is now set to 154.   Now that I said that, I believe I saw the Preferences had its own listing on a Mac. (I'm Mac challenged)

Your Flow Limits are very high.  This is causing your pressure to go up.  I would set the EPAP to 10 and increase the PS to 4.  Also, work on those large leaks.

Thank you Red, I think I reset the graph height, I'll try your settings tonight.

Here's chart from last night. Wow, amazing leak line on CrimsonNape's settings! AHI is way high though for me. I also used an old RM F20 foam mask. 

Will try Stacey's settings tonight.

How do you feel? You might try setting the Trigger to "High" and turn off the ramp.

Red: about the same, I rarely feel chipper first thing, but i’ve turned off ramp and set trigger to high so well see. Thank you for your help.

CRIMSONNAPE & STACEY: Wow, amazing chart, I've never seen flow limits diminished like this. I do not remember the break and I did wake up with the hose popped off the mask and the machine off, so I don't know what that was about. AHI is a bit higher. It kinda looks like I've never needed such high pressure.

Any fine tuning with these settings or should I try Stacey's tonight?

I would give it a couple of nights on these settings.  You now need to see "how you Feel"? more than anything else.  I am looking at your Oa chart and would like to see a couple days at this pressure to see how you are doing.

[Fabby]

Yikes, not good. AHI shot way up! What happened?

CPAP therapy is no different from life. You are going to have good days and bad days. We look at trends over time, not just one night. See what tonight brings.
