I remember you because Leadville might be the highest altitude municipality in the U.S. It's amazing to me more people there are not in need of some respiratory assistance. At an average elevation over 10,300 feet, I think your long-term solutions is lower altitude, but Looking forward to helping with the ASV.

I do live at the highest city in the US at 10,152ft, but my oxygen rate is always around 94% Hopefully i will find out about the ASV this week.

It's not so much about oxygen, but rather CO2. In order to keep oxygenated at high altitude, you have to have a high ventilation rate, and that often reduces CO2 which reduces respiratory drive. The ASV will maintain your normal respiratory volume and rate.

That was pretty fast in getting you that machine. Note the slight sarcasm.
They're maybe setting you to defaults?
Either ASV or ASV Auto mode,
EPAP 4-15
PS 3-15
Am I close?
