How do I check my pressure?

Posted by SpongeBob on August 29, 2002 at 11:27:53:

When I first got my cpap, i remember the respitory therapist telling me that it was set at 8. I tried on the mask and said "dang thats a lot of pressure". Now, 4 months later, It feels like there is hardly any pressure. I might of a) got used to it or B)somehow the pressure changed. Is there a way that I can check to see how much air is actually coming out? can i stick a tire pressure gauge in it or something?
