My CPAP provider botched the setting on my CPAP!!!

Hello people

I have just had a machine exchanged because it maufuctioned and now I have another one, this machine is the same as my other s6 Elite. I found this model very comfortable as it's got a smart start feature and I do not have to touch it after I get my mask on my face.

I have see my sleep dr. to check if my perscripton pressure set for the cpap is still right as it's been 2 yrs since I saw him. I think my requirments has changed, as currently I am set at 8cms of pressure. As I have been needing more sleep to keep awake during the day.

The provider set it at 6cm' and that is not my persription as I feel a bit tired on waking in the morning. Plus on 8cms I need more sleep to keep awake during the day, as if get up early say 05:40 for work, not forgetting to sleep early the night before .

I find often thru out the my trip to work I sleep whist travelling but I wake up with a cracking dome!!! I even sleep at 0750-08:45 on the country train after eating breakfast but I wake up sleepy later and have to force myself to wake up so I don't miss my stop!

So I am going to the sleep dr. for a review. Plus to fix the setting on my cpap too.
Been on CPAP for a while.....I had moderate apenoa
