Dreamstation issues with pressure

Is there a way to reset my dreamstation to go back to the original settings my doctor set it up with?

I must have changed a setting because my machine used to ramp from pressure 6 to pressure 15. And now it starts at pressure 8 ( I did change the starting pressure) but never goes past 9.5 pressure ( I did not change the max pressure).

maybe it doesn't *need* to go that high... your needs do change over time.

Yes, I thought that to be true, but I'm not feeling rested at all the next day. I feel similar to how I felt before I started using the machine.

Post some charts, (see my sig) and let's see if we can see something going on.

Ok, so, you're not really having any events at this point, which is why the pressure isn't going up.

There's room for a little improvement, you could try a min pressure of 9, and see if that helps... conversely, you might try a lower min pressure... just in case the pressure itself is disturbing your sleep... Unfortunately, there's no clear looking indications.

This score is very good. "Perfect" is zero, but that's elusive for most of us; you're pretty close!

Consider also the possibility that you have had undiagnosed for many years, and, therefore, you have a tremendous sleep debt to pay back.

Also, if that's not a sufficient explanation, you might what to look for an explanation of your sleepiness other than sleep apnea. Of course, you must continue to treat your sleep apnea, as it is a serious disease.
