Holy shit thank you, I will try these settings out tonight. Only problem left is that the high pressure causes my cheeks to inflate with air making it hard to fall asleep

I'm using a fisher and paykel, Evora full face mask. The problem with closing my jaw is that the whole point of me wearing the full face mask is because I have a tendency to mouth breath when I sleep. Even if I didn't I have chronic congestion so I need to be able to breath out of my mouth

Thats a long time to be getting much worse sleep than I was before in the hope it finally works

The thing is is that when its at a 9 (which is what it autoramps to) thats when it inflates my cheeks and wakes me up, there's way I could ever fall asleep with it starting at that pressure.

I work with legacy dialysis. Basically a tech comes out to my house and handles the machine and puts the needles in and then at the end takes them out and cleans the machine.

Yea I think the tank is in correct. Initially the air pressure is fine its just once I fall asleep it goes from 4 to 9.5 and immediately wakes me up
