Keep bumping up the pressure a little at a time. You'll get there.

will try 9 tonight.

With EPR off, it's getting a little harder to breathe out though. But at least the mask isnt bouncing all over my face...

RE: Amara view leaking bad
tried 9-12 tonight, ahi was 1, for the first time, half events were flow limitations, with 1/4 OA and the other 1/4 half hypopneas and centrals.
Usually hypopneas were predominant.

The APAP always bounces pressure up and down though, I wonder if I should just set it to CPAP 9 or keep it 9-12 apap. I pretty much just get the "saw tooth" pattern going 9-10-9-10-9 for no reason all night.

Will try again 9-12 tonight and report.

The up and down pressure is a dreamstation thing. It checks to see if a different pressure will improve your flow rate. It doesn't really hurt anything unless it's disturbing your sleep. If so maybe a fix pressure would work better for you.

.78 last night but with a cluster of reras fl and hypopneas during 20 min, rest of the night looked ok.

Never really had much reras flag before.

RE: Amara view leaking bad
I'm having the same bad time with Amara View, but I really, really want to make it work, since it is the most comfortable. What is EPR? I have the same problem with it moving around. I will get it just right, but in the night I will waken when it is at higher pressure, and it seems to slide around as it inflates. I have a small size but wonder if it is still too big (I have a small face). The leaks around my chin are the worst. Help!

RE: Amara view leaking bad
I am getting it better lately.
The stubble really makes it leak though, but I don't want to shave every night...

.56 last night, 3 Fl, 1 OA, 2 H, 1 CA, Probably not worth changing anything at .56

Nope! That's as good as it gets.

RE: Amara view leaking bad
got .91 last night, with FL, OA, CA, and H all even, 1-2 events each...

But I guess that I'm just going to get some events no matter what and at .91 it's probably not worth it changing anything.

Should I even bother? With low numbers like that, percentages don't really mean anything anyway, with 2CA, 3FL, 2H, 2O, 1PB....

AHI really dropped since I jumped min to 9 and set EPR to 0
Maybe I'll try 10 and see how it feels. Maybe 10 with EPR 1....
