RE: Still waking up exausted.
You have problems with flow limits and EPR controls flow limits so you need EPR 3.
The way EPR works is it subtracts from the min to make exhale easier. EPR is exhale relief pressure it DOES NOT change the inhale pressure. Te inhale pressure is the min pressure.
With your settings min 10 epr 0 - your inhale pressure and exhale pressure is 10.
With min 10 EPR 3 your inhale is 10 your exhale is 7. It is the same INHALE pressure on either setting.
I don’t know what you felt but your inhale is the SAME on those different settings but your flow limits will be helped with EPR3 and you will have less H events.
