There could be a lot of reasons why this could happen. If you have had a change in weight or have been on the machine for a long time, you may need to have the pressure increased. You may need a new sleep study to determine what your pressure should be changed to. Your doctor must write a new prescription for you to receive a pressure change. Another reason could be that there is a leak in your supplies, either your mask or tubing. Check all areas of your machine and supplies to make sure there are no leaks. If your supplies are more than 6 months old, your insurance company will sometimes pay for them to be replaced. Replacing your old supplies may help too.
