changing pressure

Post by Onetiredmomma » Mon Sep 19, 2016 7:42 pm

I have had a cpap machine for about 2 months. I've lost almost 40 lbs, now my pressure seems too high. Does my weight loss cause the pressure to be too high?

"seems" means nothing, pressure could be too low.

It might not be doing anything. Why do you think the pressure is too high? Is it becoming uncomfortable?

What equipment do you have and do you use Sleepyhead software?
