CPAP pressure is prescribed by your doctor based on your sleep study results. If pressure feels uncomfortable: 1) Use the ramp feature to start at lower pressure and gradually increase. 2) Ensure your mask fits properly—leaks can make pressure feel wrong. 3) Try EPR (expiratory pressure relief) if available on your machine. 4) Never adjust prescribed pressure settings yourself. If discomfort persists, contact your sleep specialist for a pressure adjustment. Some patients benefit from auto-adjusting APAP machines that vary pressure throughout the night.
Use ramp features and proper mask fit for pressure comfort; contact your doctor for prescription changes.
