I see a lot of you talking about the numbers on your cpap machines and how much pressure your getting. How can I do the same, not that I know what I'd be reading. I need some education on how to help myself. How did you all learn what these number mean?
I have Resperonics Remstar Pro C-Flex + Auto I Q
I would appreciate any help you could give me or even to tell me where I can go to find out.

Rita had these follow-up questions. Can anyone help:
What does this mean: Epworth Sleepiness Scale < 10=(does not indicate EDS (Excessive Daytime Somnolence));10-15=(indicates daytime somnolence-not excessive);>16 (indicates EDS). ========================================================================== What's the difference between mild, moderate and severe Sleep Apnea? Mild Sleep Apnea = AHI between 5 and 15 Moderate Sleep Apnea = AHI between 15 and 30 Severe Sleep Apnea = AHI > 30 My doctor said my number was 74 times in four hours...How is the above counted?

Mike, my machine is Remstar Pro C-Flex + Auto 1Q which is not listed above. Does that mean I should ask for another machine? ==========================================================================
