Lawrence,
In reading these posts I find that many are on titration levels of 5,6, or 7. I am on 13 with a ramping that begins at 4 and reaches the 13 in approxinately 20 minutes. I find that I cannot put my nasal mask on for about 10 minutes or so because at a pressure of 4 or 5 I feel that its hard for me to breathe. Its like breathing through a straw. I find it hard to imagine breathing normally and comfortably at a 5 or 6. Is this a unique situation just for me?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
