How do I change pressure settings?

I gave up trying to use my machine as prescribed. I was dozing off with it on but then would wake shortly after that with panic feeling like I was suffocating. My pressure is simply too high to start with even with a ramp up. Insurance wasn't going to pay so I gave in and put the thing on my credit ...

Re: Desperate and having no luck!

Thanks Pugsy, I was under the impression it recorded your breathing pattern so they could tell if you were actually sleeping. I don't know why. It will show up whenever I take the mask off though, not sure how much of an issue that would be. I'm up and down a lot in the evening, cleaning, letting th...

Re: Desperate and having no luck!

It starts off at 4 with a 30 minute ramp. This is the same type of machine I used last fall. I started off with a nasal mask at that...

Desperate and having no luck!

I was diagnosed with severe obstructive apnea last summer with about 41 episodes per hour. Mostly shallow breathing with a few actual stoppages. I was prescribed a cpap machine (I can’t remember what it’s set on…It’s around 10, give or take one- either 9 or 11…seems like it’s an odd number). I tried...
