First 4 nights data, pls advise! - stardew - 12-10-2024
Hello, I'm new here and new to CPAP. This is my first four nights of data. I would appreciate any advice to help optimize my therapy. I did ask for advice on another forum and it's reflected in the stats for 12-09-2024. Thanks in advance.
Edit: Oops, I mean the previous 3 nights as I can only attach 3 items. Thanks!

Welcome to Apnea Board,
Keep the 12/9 settings of 7-10 with EPR 3 full time. This has EPR working because min 7 allows this. You have a bilevel in every sense with EPR being the bilevel PS.
You might want to extend Max pressure to 12, but again 10 was fine that night.
Numbers are good. How do you feel for it? That's the second half of the story.

Hello Dave, thanks for the input. I'll up the max to 12 and keep an eye on the data.
So far I'm feeling about the same, maybe less tired but I'm not too sure. I'm hoping I'll feel better as time goes on. I didn't have too many sleepy or tired symptoms to begin with.

Good enough. You can choose to post a chart tomorrow if you want to track progress. If it goes well though, similar or better than this one, maybe wait a few days. Your choice either way.
Using CPAP machines may take time before you feel better for it. Mainly track the info to dial it in, making the CPAP therapy most efficient and yourself most comfortable both while sleeping, and using therapy.

I increased my max pressure to 10.8 just to test it out
