Maybe too high, or maybe it's the EPR? But I can't really exhale against 10 anyway.
So I'll keep it at 9 and if ahi is under 1, stop bothering about a few events and that's it?

ResMed calls it EPR in the AirSense 10, and Respironics calls it A-Flex (or C-Flex, depending if it's running as an APAP or a CPAP). It reduces the pressure by a certain amount (I think both reduce current pressure by a maximum of 3 cm H2O) to make it easier to exhale.

Will go back to a flex off and 9-12 tonight will report
Ahi is best with those settings I cant really exhale against 10 anyway, 9 is max I tolerate.

back to 9 with flex off, ahi down to 0.42 2O, 1FL, 1H
probably as good as it gets, will keep it there.

RE: Amara view leaking bad
Now my main issue is getting the leaks under control.
If too slack, it leaks. If too tight, it hurts pretty bad under my nose. I can't keep it on more than 6-7 hours usually. I skipped a night once due to pain.

Swallowing too much air at 9, tried 8 last night, less trouble, but slightly more FL, but AHI under control. Will try 8 for a while.
Main issue is the mask hurts below my nose. |
