BP when was your last study? Trip to the DR? Are you due for a new mask? Have you gained any weight? Have any of your personal parameters changed since your titraiton. Have you replaced the lining on your mask? I have been thinking on this at work. Are you fitting your mask lying down or sitting up?

There is new quattro series out, but I would imagine that it is the same one you have. Talk to your dr. about flow limitation and maybe see about getting a MSLT to test for overall daytime sleepiness. This would at least rule out narcolepsy. I am sorry I don't have more for you. It is a crap shoot at thisa point BP. We need to start eliminating possible causes for your daytime fatigue, and for your need for the ambien at night.
The new quattro has a big dial on the forehead that helps adjust it to your face. I was not aware that the new machines adjusted for flow limitation. Flow limitation is the beginning or onset of an obstruction. On a psg we can see this in your respirarory waves long before an event happens. I don't understand you said your nachine went up and stayed up for a while. Does this mean it came down again? If you have flow limitation your pressure needs to stay at a high enough rate to prevent this.
