The answer is, absolutely YES!!!!

Pressure too low OR TOO HIGH can cause CPAP not to be fully effective. In a few - very few - extreme cases it might be worse than nothing at all.

The fact that you lost 65 lbs. - 30 kgs. for our non-U.S. readers - does indicate that the pressure might be too high, rather than too low.
