Normal flow rate or no?
Hi guys,
Does this flow rate graph look normal to you? It is consistently like this throughout the night. I still struggle with sleepiness so I think something is affecting my sleep.

RE: Normal flow rate or no?
Although there are some bumps here and there and FLs, the curves are not particularly concerning.
I am not familiar with your instrument's hardware settings, but I would increase the pressure difference between EPAP and IPAP to reduce FLs and Hs by increasing IPAP.

RE: Normal flow rate or no?
On my instrument I can only adjust min, max pressure and softPAP(which is alike to EPR) - 2, 1 and off.
It was set to 2. I have now disabled it, and this is the new data: I'm still seeing these notches which look like FL to me, but oscar is not measuring them as FL. Should I increase my min pressure?

RE: Normal flow rate or no?
If you can only adjust the Min/Max, I suggest steering the min to 8 cm, max to 12 cm, and softPAP to 2.
