need to reset my machine pressure / sleep study last night

Post by midnight_snorkeler » Sun Nov 26, 2006 9:11 pm

did a sleep study last night went fine but my pressure is set too high my doctor wont see me until dec 17th. i really would like to reset my pressure to the lower recommended pressure. i have a remstar standard cpap. can anyone tell me how to reset the pressure. the respiratoy therapist was nice enough to tell me i need my pressure at 14cm2 instead of 17cm2. she tried to reset but said this was one she wasnt sure of. said i have to wait until i see my doctor!!! i REM rebounded (according to the rt) last night and i would like to get back there tonight. she said that too high pressure can keep you out of the deep sleep we all need and i am living proof. please help!!!
