CPAP means Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. The pressure prescribed by your doctor is constant and does not change when you exhale. This is something to which you will adjust over time. You may also benefit from a feature called C-Flex or from a BIPAP machine, which make it easier to exhale against the pressure. You should discuss these options with your doctor if you are unable to tolerate the CPAP.
