lol Let's call speculation, speculation, not clarity.

The OP stated:

"My machine was set at auto range 4 - 20. After advice and research on here I reduced my pressure range to 8-14 and felt a bit better. At my only review by Doc said I needed more pressure and to set it back to 10 - 18 again. I did this gradually and failed to notice I was going down hill. This last two weeks I feel like I have fallen off a cliff. Really rough in the morning dead anxious. On Sunday I turned the pressure back to 10 - 14 and felt quite a bit better. "


Seems pretty clear to me. 10-14 gives him better results (he feels better) than 10-18. The only difference is that it can't go up as high. It might leave some events untreated. But that is about the only difference. Since having more events doesn't normally make a person feel better, the reduction of pressure changes seems to be what is making him feel better with the tighter range.

Yes, I know.

Some people take correlation for causation.
