I have the chart list in my signature (bottom of the message) that you need.  The only thing I would change for now is the min pressure.

min pressure is the lowest the machine will go.  Your is set to 4 and that is the absolute lowest the machine can go and that setting is for children.  An adult will need more so they do not feel air starved.

Set your min to 8

You will not need a ramp.  You will not get any therapy during ramp and your starting Min of 8 is in inhale pressure while the exhale pressure will be 5 and again the lowest it could go is 4 and you will not notice the difference.


Thank you for the chart wiki. That will help a bunch.

So set to 8cm min & 20cm max with the EPR at 3 full time and no ramp.

Well last night was a frustrating one. I'm beginning to wonder what my goals are or should be. My Dr's say that as I'm on three BP meds. That points to apneas causing the high BP.

Yet my BP at 67 yrs old is 130's/80's and even into the 120's/70's which the doc says is great. ?????

And I have to say that I have been more tired and feel much worse than I ever have prior to being on APAP therapy.


At the end of the first session. My nose started to clog up. Was off the mask for a while and put it back on. Removed it again. then about 7:30 AM brought the pressure down to 6 from 8. In the next 30min or so. I had 0 OSA's and 17 CSA's on my machines screen.

I'm about ready to return this infernal torture device.


Here is my chart from last night.
