Usually, the devise's pressures are set by the DME company's therapist and are supposed to be pt proof.

Yep, mine was a pain in the arse and felt like too much pressure after the first month of using one. I have lowered the setting twice now as my fatass has lost some weight (chicken or the egg?). Using an Apple Watch, it confirmed that as I tweaked the pressure, the more refreshed I felt when waking up and that correlated with a higher percentage of REM and Deep sleep as measured by the watch. Of course, the Chinese now know this so I'm fricked.

I am not saying a sleep study and history is unnecessary, but I don't know how you can determine the need for a CPAP, much less calibrate the correct setting of ones machine by putting twenty dozen wires on them and assessing them as they sleep in a strange bed in a medical facility for one night.

A little learning is a dangerous thing- Alexander Pope

Some people think "if 10 is good, then 11 is better", then go google how to get into the clinical settings. What they don't know it, to much and you can make things worse. All they know is some of their symptoms have come back and attribute that to "muh pressure needs to be turned up". Most don't have any idea of how many different factors could be causing this, then do something that makes it worse.
