Chicagogranny,
The doc set me at a pressure range of 4-6...the machine is an auto set, so it looks like I got up to 6... does that sound right to you?
That pressure range is at the very bottom of the scale. I can't tolerate anything under 7 - it feels like I am suffocating. You might want to give the doc on update on how you are feeling with CPAP and ask him about the low pressure.

Good luck.

Yeah, that's in the 'not going to do much' pressure range for most people... though there are a few that only need that tiny amount of pressure... but very few.
