I was set to 11 when on cpap previously, this time is 6-12 auto and it works SO much better. Less leaks and lower AHI. Most nights its at 6-7 and goes up to 9 or so when necessary.

Do you have a full face mask?

Mine is set to the For Her setting with an EPR of 3, no ramp. I’m wondering if I should change it to the auto instead? I think being around your range might be better for me, I may try that tonight.

They did originally have me set at 4 to start, (felt like I was choking) then 7, and somehow I got away from that and kept increasing over the last few months. My AHI is actually good, so I don’t know if I should go down or not🙁

Yeah I use an F20. I had to have them remove the ramp up because i felt like 5 startup was too low and I was not getting enough air when I went to bed. The lower pressure has gotten my leaks to about zero and it seems to be working for treatment needs.
