Here's my first sleep test done in 2015 (not 2014) as I thought).  It was done in April and in June I had the titration done.  Still working on those.  Probably can post those tomorrow.

Good morning.  Attached are three current charts showing Fixed 6cmH2O with no EPR, 6cm setting with EPR 2 and last night's 6cm setting with EPR 1.  Could someone please interpret these results for me?  I could look at them until the cows come home and probably miss the big picture of what is going on.  I normally sleep pretty good anyway, but last night was so good I sleep longer than usual!  I am starting to think that higher pressures seem to work for a lot of people, but maybe not so much for me.  Being small, my lungs probably are too.  If I ever get the O2 supplementation, that may clear up some issues.

Not really been following this, but I think you need to read the wiki page on "chart organization." Seems there's some missing info on these.

All these numbers are excellent. The high one is also excellent and likely simply daily variation.. based on this go with what is most comfortable, giving you the best sleep.

I'm not comfortable with anything from you untill we see some overnight oxygen numbers

From your mouth to God's ear.  I plan on pushing this issue pretty hard on Monday.

I think the pertinent info is there or bonjour or sleeprider would tell me to shorten/widen some of the info.

BTW, forgot to mention something the respiratory therapist said to me at my August sleep test when I mentioned that I had tried min 8/max 12/EPR 3 CPAP setting and didn't like it.  He said, "Eight?  You could burn your lungs!  You should have started out at min 5/max 12."  That puzzled me.  His concern was the minimum pressure, not the maximum.  Didn't know you could impact your lungs with too high a minimum pressure.
