You can tinker with your settings too. There’s a piece of software called sleepyhead that will display all of the stats from your unit’s SD card, and you can get your settings dialed in using it.
I had to because my pressure would go up so high that it would cause my mask to leak and I had to wake up and restart the unit to get it to a normal pressure.
When I had my S9 normal bipap I used to use Sleepyhead and also the official Resmed software that only the DME’s had access to, to modify my settings. Once I had my machine I never went back for follow-up appointments, I managed things myself. When I got my new machine, I had my sleep doctor specify an Auto machine because I wanted to fiddle with things less. I knew what pressures worked best for me, but I wanted a machine that would increase the pressure if needed.
My pressure is already high enough that there’s only a couple masks that I can clamp down to my face enough to go leak free. For the past 8 years I’ve used a Resmed Mirage Quattro and I keep a supply of new headgear handy for when I eventually wear them out.
Sucks I had to get to 40 before doctors figured out what was wrong with me. I’ve lost more weight this year then in my whole life combined including the year I got put on Ozempic. But still I have days where my AHI is through the roof. So many things are getting better for me health wise but I still have so many sleep issues.
