CPAP Problems!

Changing settings on your cpap machine is just like going to a pharmacy and grabbing a higher dose med on your own. These machines do effect your respiratory system. I have worked in sleep health for years. It is highly recommended that you allow your dr to prescribe necessary changes, not just adjust it on your own.

To say that it is like grabbing a higher prescription is disingenuous to my entire argument and I respectfully disagree. Best - Shellie

Ask your sleep dr what they think of you modifying your own settings. It isn't difficult to allow your dr to read your card and make the changes on their own. Just like when you need a rx change you don't do it on your own. You see the dr. If there wast a reason to have clinical menus and keep people from adjusting their machines, they wouldn't set them up that way to begin with. To each their own. Do as you wish. Sounds like the real problem is your sleep health practice doesn't do enough follow up with their patients.
