Change Pressure? or Use AutoIQ?
I have just started back trying to use CPAP after never being able to adjust to it. Two days a go I changed to a new mask (Amara View) which is working out great and I think I will now be able to consistently use CPAP. I can see by looking at the SleepyHead data that I am not doing real well at my prior pressure of 12. I am wondering if I should just bump my pressure up to 13 and try that for a few days or if I should use the AutoIQ function of my machine for 3 or 7 days and let it determine where my pressure should be set. Any advice?

Re: Change Pressure? or Use AutoIQ?
With Auto IQ you have 30 nights to experiment with auto pressures. Your machine is a fixed pressure machine so once you determine your best pressure, the machine will act as a fixed pressure machine. You could try increasing to 13 and see if your AHI drops or try 10-14 on auto.
