You would get more help if you post an Oscar chart. Lots of us don't read sleephq.

How do you feel though? That's more important once you're under 1 AHI.

Some of those flow spikes will always be there. They're sighs and a completely normal part of breathing.

You could make small increases to minimum pressure to try to reduce those flow limits.
Breathe through your nose
Reduce sugar and processed food
Soft collar and tape

RE: Need some help settling down my Breathing and Flow Limits
Thank you, Deborah. I actually had a post concerning that, but I split off on it when I started speaking to my apnea challenges. It is in the software section, referring to as "needing a path to send Data from the sd card." It wants me to choose a folder, which I can't or Browse, which doesn't help either. I tried a couple of suggestions, that didn't work. I would prefer Oscar, as I've used it before, when it first came out. It is what it is. The two are not oceans apart in function.
