Help---5 Sleep Studies-tired

Posted by tootired on June 03, 2004 at 08:19:42:
I was diagnosed with OSA last summer. When I first started out my pressure was 10 on a bipap. I still use the bipap but it has been bumped up to 13 and now to 17.
Why am I still tired? How come after each sleep study my pressures are raised? Can you get adjusted to the pressure and always have apnea?
I really thought this last pressure change would do it but after 7 1/2 hours of sleep,I am ready for a nap and it is only 11:00am.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
MJ
