The good news is the CPAP works for you and you can feel better with it!

Your problem is minor and easily fixed.

Obviously, something is preventing you from receiving the pressure you need. Your mask or hose may be leaking. If necessary, have the Respiratory Therapist come back to your house and reset your CPAP. Tell them it's not working and they can check all the settings and connections.

Also, if your mask is leaking I would stick with the one you first used and that worked (during your sleep study).

Good Luck!
