The initial pressure therapy setting is usually set by the respiratory therapist on the initial in-home consultation. Most CPAP machines have a lock-out feature to prevent the user/patient from change the flow pressure settings. It is possible to unlock your machine and adjust your pressures. However, before changing pressures it is recommended to discuss the reasoning with your Physician or respiratory therapist. There may be a better solution.
