Thank you for your swift response. I will get to changing those settings as soon as I can and I will update.

I think you may have gotten the same advise from a half-dozen knowledgeable members that have been involved in this thread from the beginning. I should not have jumped into something this far along, but the Vauto is a game changer.

Change trigger to very-high, reduce PS to 3.6. Anything about comfort we should know? It appears we could reduce pressure further if you want.

RE: makdiajoh - Therapy Thread
I have a mild to moderate amount of aerophagia but it has always been like that my entire time using PAP therapy and it doesn’t bother me. Otherwise, I had no discomfort sleeping with these settings or any settings in the past. I am so tired I have no issue sleeping with any pressure or cervical collar or mouth tape or anything haha I will fall asleep and it feels like I’m staying asleep no matter what!

For some reason, the site won’t let me add the attachment of my data from last night. I’m currently using 1.9% of my attachment quota.

Never mind, now I can see it was attached once I posted. Let me know what you think about the updated data with your suggested settings

Man, your centrals are stubborn. How about a 2-3 minute zoom of a couple events so we know how those are happening? The lower PS and very high trigger did get some improvement, but I was looking for better.

Sorry for the delayed update. Good news - my CAs have decreased in the last couple of days. Hopefully this stays on trend while I still have this machine.

RE: makdiajoh - Therapy Thread
In zooming on my flow rate, I do have weird patterns like the one I have attached about every 10min. Is this normal or an arousal? Although my CAs decreased significantly the last 2 days, I don't feel anymore rested - which I am aware can take awhile - but just curious if this breathing is an arousal not picked up by the software.
