Trying to attach a screenshot, and post to original thread, but posts don't seem to be going through - sorry about that . I've got the text of my daily data - hope this helps. Had a total of 66 clear airway events, which seems pretty high.

Trying to attach a screenshot twice, but post didn't seem to go through. I've got the text of my daily data - hope this helps and sorry not able to post screenshot. Had a total of 66 clear airway events, which seems pretty high.

Hope this helps and thanks for your replies.

Hoping this helps and thank you for your continued replies

Thanks a lot - will definitely give that a try.

I was able to draw my data from the Resmed sd card. Think you could take a look and let me know what you think? This is over the last 30 days. Just upped my pressure to 9 two nights ago. Thanks again for all your help.

Thanks a lot for all your help. Hoping to have sd card reader by tomorrow - should have a report in a few days, if you wouldn’t mind taking a look.

Think I’ll try to up my pressure a bit to see how I respond.

And yes, the raspberries I was talking about was just a blowing out of my mouth. Happens some nights, not others.

Thanks again for all your help! Really appreciate you taking the time to help!

I believe you use the OSCAR app with the resmed sd card, right? I apologize, just new to all this.

Thanks so much for your reply, really appreciate you getting back to me.

My min pressure was at 6.2, not 6.8, and I have a ramp time of 5 mins. Max pressure of 8.2 and using nasal mask.

I use the MyAir app, but don’t have a reader for the Airsense sd card. Just purchased from amazon but wouldn’t be able to provide you detailed data. Ok to get that info to you as soon as available?

When I’ve tried to increase my pressure, it’s seems like I blow more raspberries. Will try to up my pressure tonight, but any idea about how I might stop the raspberries?

Is there a site that has more info on OA (obstructive apnea), CA (clear airway or central apnea), and H (Hypopnea) in layman’s terms? Have no idea how these events impact my AHI number.

Yes, saw how improved both your and Ittiandro ‘s results have been. Certainly would like to give if a try.

Hi Sierra, Started cpap therapy three months ago with a mixed bag of results, using Resmed AirSense 10 autoset and nasal mask.

AHI numbers are typically under 10, with umbers ranging from 15 to 24 15% of the time. Minimum start pressure is 6.8, max is 8.2 with no ramp time. At times, I blow raspberries, which my pulmonologist suggested might be due to max pressure being too high.

With covid and in lieu of an overnight sleep study, my pulmonologist recommended I turn on the EPR function, as well as experiment a bit with max pressure settings. I’ve read some of your posts and must admit, have difficulty understanding hoe EPR works, but hoping you could provide a bit more insight as to how I might use EPR.

Thanks a lot for the information you provide - it’s very helpful.
