Cpap and getting better sleep: What's your experience?

Thank you for responding so quickly. Is 4 the normal place for ramp even though I feel like I am suffocating? Again, it could be the mask. Also, when I am breathing, I am a slow breather. I feel like the machine is dictating the timing of my breaths and actually increasing pressure even though when I look at my display, it hasn't changed. When this happens, I feel like I need to take a breath and it is too soon. I look forward to the day that I can encourage someone!

I am not sure what you are referring to when you say 4. Are you talking about a setting or the pressure the machine is set to produce? I do not have the same machine you have so if it is a setting I would not know. The pressure is usually set by the range allowed which usually is between 5 and 20. Mine is set for 10 to 20. In that range if you have an automatic machine which most are these days, it will set somewhere in that range that the machine has detected as needed to stop a sleep apnea event. My machine averages 14.
