How can you increase cpap pressure?
My cpap is set at 10 but I think it needs to be increased a bit. Can I change it only own?

Re: How can you increase cpap pressure?
You should not change your pressure unless you have educated yourself in cpap therapy. I don't know what your comfort level is, but I suspect if you have to ask, you probably shouldn't be tinkering with the pressure. I would hope you would try to resolve the issues you have and increase your pressure as a last resort.

I agree. I believe you need to know WHY you're changing pressures and support the reasoning with data from the machine.Sheriff Buford wrote:You should not change your pressure unless you have educated yourself in cpap therapy.

For example, if you're using a nasal mask and leaking therapy air out your mouth......and feel you need to raise pressures, all you're going to accomplish is leaking even more air out your mouth. You need to figure out and know what the problem is before making changes.
