Sorry i just noticed this. Do you mean by supposed to be changed to 7cm of pressure that is what you were titrated for?
If so then as others have said you could be running too low at a 5cm start.
A setting of 7cm just on regular CPAP and without any foo foo EPR (exhale relief) might be worth a try, even one nights setting change is better than going without any therapy.

Look at the front and sides of the keyboard of your laptop computer for a slot labeled “SD.”

Look at the front of the tower of your desktop computer for a slot labeled “SD.”

If you are running Windows 10, click and hold "Start," then click "Device Manager" in the menu that appears. In the device manager, look for a device labeled “SD host adapter.” If you see it, your computer has a built-in SD card reader. If you can locate the slot but not the device listing, or see the listing but not the slot, contact your computer's manufacturer for more information.

If you have Windows 7, click “Start,” right-click “Computer” and click “Manage.” Click “Device Manager” in the left pane of the Computer Management window. Look for a device labeled “SD host adapter.” If you see this device, your computer has a built-in SD card reader. If you still can't locate the slot, you may have to refer to the owner's manual or the manufacturer's website.
