Hello,

Newbie here, I've been having trouble with machine or mask or both.  Would like some input from some seasoned folks about the report.

Thanks in advance.

RE: sleapyhead numbers
jv61,
Your stats look good.  Although, in your profile, you list your machine as A10 Elite, which is a straight pressure cpap.  According to your chart, you are using the A10 Autoset.

What is the exact problem you are having with your machine?  

As far as masks go, it's a matter of fit and comfort.  If you could be a little more specific, we may be able to help.

If you would download #SleepyHead software, and follow the tutorials in my signature line on how to organize and upload here, we could better advise.

RE: sleapyhead numbers
Is this your normal sleep pattern? It looks like your not getting restful sleep.
Is the high pressure waking you? Just trying to get a feel for your sleep pattern.

It looks like you could lower your pressure a bit, and be more comfortable and still get good results. Try a range of 12 min and 16 max with an EPR of 2.

RE: sleapyhead numbers
Based on the summary statistics you posted in your first post, your minimum pressure is too high. I don't often say that. I would go to 10 minimum 16 maximum and see where things settle out. If you're comfortable at these higher pressures, then it's fine to leave them as-is, however you clearly have some room to use lower pressure and still have good results.
