Sorry to hear you're having problems. Have you been talking with whoever you got your equipment from? You should be getting plenty of help from them.

There are many things that could be causing your problem and I agree, seeing a sleep specialist would be a very good idea. If this is going to take awhile, if your machine is not an auto CPAP would it be possible for you to have a trial on one to see if the pressure is different than what has been prescribed for you? I have found that I am on much less pressure for most of the night on the auto CPAP and the pressure also depends on the mask I use. If you are taking off your mask there is obviously a reason. Some trial and error may turn up the reason and your supplier should be able to help you while you're waiting for your specialist.
