Your minimum pressure is 5? Is that correct?
Technically you probably don't really need much more but you might find that minimum of 6.0 cm moves the air a little more and might be a little more comfortable.
They started me out at 5 cm at my titration sleep study and I thought I was sucking air through a coffee stirrer.
It was rather uncomfortable for me and that was with no past cpap experience with pressure.
So 0.5 cm or 1.0 cm increase in minimum...your pressure needs aren't really high...I can't see it hurting anything. May not need it all the night but it might help and might be more comfortable too. Maximum doesn't really need anything done to it. The machine isn't wanting to go very high anyway. Maximum is a non factor in things in your situation.
