Sleep Apnea and adjusting to a CPAP machine: Tips?

Need to correct myself. The pressure of a BiPaP is set to each patients needs. Since I stop breathing mine is set at 18/5. The highest the dream station can be set. That's 18lb in and 5 out. I experienced multiple apnea a night. This starts my breathing in case I stop. Plus the latest I have nasal collapse. I have to breath actively or less air goes into my system. Old age does wonders to us. Makes you wonder why advanced age is so difficult. Sorry to annoy you.

@lolaemma Not annoying at all! We are all in this together and learning as we go is a good thing. My Dreamstation Go is set at 18 for also but when it hits above 14 it usually wakes me up. I've only had that happen when I'm trying a new mask and something is out of the ordinary. My other issue is I'm a side sleeper and have a bad hip on one side that the pain causes me to roll over to the other side after awhile.
