I am very comfortable adjusting the pressure on my machine, what would you suggest increasing it to? Do you have any thoughts on using the ramp feature - if I don't need it shall I avoid using it? I will have a think about whether to continue using the Zopiclone - particularly as we're now coming ou...

Many of the threads here have been enormously helpful in my journey of identifying/diagnosing and now treating my sleep apnea. I had a Philips Respironics at home sleep study wh...
