There are 275,000 different kinds of machines ... Well, not really. But there are so many different ways, you have the brand of the machine. However, many devices at home "in a particular configuration of society are suspended and may be modified - without knowing how to unlock it.

And why do you think that the pressure be adjusted? Without formal sleep study, it is almost impossible to know what pressure you need.

In my opinion gmillioni gave bad advice and not follow me. The last thing I want to do is start pressing the buttons on the machine if you do not know what they are or what they should do. The reason for this is that you do not know what are the parameters that the physician has prescribed for you. That creation is the prescribed form is now configured your machine. By changing the settings, you may not know how to get back as it was before. There are other options to change by the end of May and did not even know. For example, some machines can be changed for people at high altitude. If you change this setting, the pressure on your machine can always increase 1 to 3 cmH20 and opportunities, you do not even know that you changed the value.

How do you know that the pressure should be reduced in the equipment from its current configuration?

In general, these units have built in a block that they can be transferred from a qualified therapist. However, the pressure is part of a contract, so that the need for a new regulation, a qualified person can exist only change when an Rx. On the other hand, there are some small changes that can do the patient, but each model and manufacturer, if a little differently. I want to just start pressing buttons, a few at a time, some two at a time until the messages you directly to what you want. nothing for the majority of cases, which is accessible through the patient's very limited, so that your case is not likely that you are not a problem. By the way some old-style models have buttons on the back that can change, but you have to understand what changes, if you see any errors with them.

The pressure setting is determined by the physician of sleep is optimal for the individual. If it is too high to allow people who have sold you and it is likely to bring to the doctor to suggest that you see, then try again.
