RE: New CPAP user
Your therapy looks fairly good, but a couple adjustments may help.
First, you're not getting the benefit of using EPR 3 with a minimum pressure at 4cm.
Let's change the minimum pressure to 7cm with EPR set at 2. This should help even out your breathing. Try this for a few nights and repost.
Also, when you repost a screenshot, use the standard view. Starting out, we like to see the following graphs: Events, Flow Rate, Pressure, Flow Limitation and Leak Rate.
Eliminate the calendar and pie chart.
RE: New CPAP user
When looking at your original chart, I noticed the Clear Airways. They are probably treatment emergent and will probably settle down in time, but since I am not aware if
CA's were showing up on a sleep study, and not wanting to aggravate CA's, I suggested a setting of 2.
At this point, you can try EPR 3 and gauge the effect. Repost after a few days.
Dry mouth is usually an indication of mouth breathing. For the congestion, have you tried nasal sprays like Flonase or even a saline nasal rinse?

Hi OpalRose,
I have allergies so I take some pills for that. I also have a deviated septum, which I think is what causes most of the blockage. Even when its not allergy season, there is always some blockage on one side. Saline I will look into that, something like Hydra sense
Thank You
