Your machine is set at max 15, you have 15 at 95% and max. I would lift the max pressure to allow the machine to move, unless there is a specific reason not to.

Last night's results. I do have days where the 95% is less than 15.

Lee it might help to zoom into a 2-minute section so we can see what the flow wave looks like where we can see the individual breaths. I suspect you have a persistent flow limitation which would be a very flat-topped or downward slowing inspiration curve. If so, this would be better treated with BiPAP rather than CPAP, but I don't know if that is an option for you. Anyway, let's take a look and see if that is the case.

No clue how to do that.

Put your mouse on the flow rate black line.
Click the left side of the mouse till you see a 2 minutes time space under the flow rate chart.
Take a picture (f12) & post.
After, click on the right side back to normal.

Your picked a good title for your thread.
This is becoming a journey! But you will get there.I was surprised to see that many snores recorded, and FL.
RE: My cpap journey - Lee Rilea - 06-03-2019
Here is last nights, one down to 2 minutes, the other the normal way. I wonder if this snoring and flow you are talking about is why I still feel kinda tired with low AHI numbers.
RE: My cpap journey - Sleeprider - 06-03-2019
That zoom shows approximately 1-hour. Keep going. We are looking for something more like this screenshot (2-1/2 minutes). Note this shows a problem with exhale and is not a normal flow pattern, this s an example of a zoomed image.

Lee,
What is your Flex setting?
It may help to turn it down to 1.
RE: My cpap journey - Lee Rilea - 06-03-2019
Not sure. Will have to wait until the weekend to do anything. Gotta start work at 5 am till further notice. That means a 2am wakeup lol. At least I'm under 5 for now.
