I started my therapy last year in october i think. It has been going on hit and miss. 
Currently using pillow mask. 
Min pressure 11, max pressure 14. EPR 3 Full time.
I was just checking my oscar data and i see for almost 45 mins i can see flow limit of 1.
I do not understand how can flow limit be 1. Can someone please advice.

RE: flow limit of 1
That is clearly an error. You can look at the zoomed flow data to verify what the inspiration flow curve looks like. A flow limit of 1 would infer an obstructive apnea. Please read the link on Organizing Your Oscar Chart in my signature links. There are instructions there for the organization of screenshots and the information we want to see. Also how to zoom in and examine data closer. One thing to check is that the mask setting on your device matches what you're using.
