RE: Do I need a Bi-Pap or higher pressure APAP?
Johnny, with CPAP and BiPAP we only know what we try. Even clinical titration is a trial and error process, but the end-point is usually where efficacy occurs. In your case we have achieved efficacy and you're looking for optimization. Trying a higher pressure support is just that, a trial. If it fails you go back to what worked best. There is no harm in trying.

You are showing a tendency to tucking your chin, I would have missed it of 2 of your charts but it is evident on 10/20.
My advice is to watch it, be aware of it and address it if it hits harder, and then consider a soft cervical collar.

RE: Do I need a Bi-Pap or higher pressure APAP?
I guess the original question, whether you need BiPAP is answered. CPAP could not deliver these pressures. It looks as good as you feel. i'd like to see fewer OA events, but I suspect most of that is just sneaking past the current collar, and you will eventually work it out.

One of our members earlier in the year did that write-up on Corflex and their SCC. Maybe you'd like to research that brand and see if it's something that may help out. That is, if the collar you have now fails to help.
