A range of 4-20! That's an awfully large range. You said that you have the range set on 8-14 (you didn't mean a constant 14.8, did you?). That's probably your prescription, not 4-20 (which must be the machine range). Anyhow, there are two things to consider. One is that the Autopap is not responding well. The other is that you may have an additonal sleep disorder, such as PLMS (Periodic Leg Movement Syndrome).
