what makes you "think" that there's a high air flow at low pressures?

if the mask isn't on your face, there's no pressure, not low pressure, and any airflow is meaningless.

Here we go again. I didn't say there was any air pressure when the mask was off. I said the air pressure remained high no matter what I did when I activated the device in treatment mode. Since the pressure remained constant no matter what I did. It must've meant that whatever part in the CPAP that is regulating pressure settings must be broken or malfunctioning.

But the unanswered questions are: How do you ***know*** that the pressure remained high? How high was it? How did you measure it and what were you doing when you measured it? i.e. were you wearing the mask when it was measured? Was the mask leaking?

Best advice given you to date is that you insert an SD card in the machine, use if for a few days, and then take a look at the data in Sleepyhead. Post the results here and some of the wizards on this board will give you their thoughts on it. This is the path to self-titration which was your original question. And if your machine is broken, that too may become clear.

Why would the pressure change while you are awake? If you are new to cpap therapy, a low pressure may seem high to you. What number was on the screen?
