Not sure why, but after I started this therapy when I go into REM sleep or get on my back it seems that I need more pressure, its reads about 12.5 to 14 sometimes at 90 to 95%, however the % of ti...

Help!

I started having aerophgia, I have an auto adjust machine, my range is 9-17, my prescribed pressure is 10. last night my pressure went up to 16 and I woke up this morning with a stomach full of air. Should I lower the top range? I think it went up because of leaks.

thanks for your help
