I average 6.7 hours of sleep with AHI's below one.
Should I leave everything alone or try to increase exhale number. Biggest problem is getting a stuffy nose almost every night, even with using flonase.

Should I Adjust BIpap settings
Thanks to the advise I've received and the ability to adjust my pressure levels and PS level I am now at a range of 7 and lately BiPaP levels of 16/9.

My 2C do not be afraid to experiment. If your machine has a SD card then certainly use SleepyHead make small adjustments and use the SleepHead log slider to help you dial in what feels best. After 9 mos I now get 0 AHI as often as not and feel great most of the time but I found a zero AHI isn't necessarily optimal and without SH I would have never known.. Stuffy nose sounds like too low Rh to me. YMMV
I use my PAP machine nightly and I feel great!

I'm with JWR on this. Leave the settings alone for a couple of weeks and see how things work out. You have the rest of your life to experiment with the settings.
