View source for Adjusting your own CPAP pressure

<p align="justify">Contrary to popular belief, it is ''not'' illegal for [[Sleep Apnea]] patients to change pressure or to make other adjustments to their own legally-obtained [[CPAP]] machine.  On Apnea Board we believe ''patients are their own best primary care provider'' - that ''nobody else'' is looking out for the ''patient's'' health and well being as much as the ''patient''. We think Sleep Apnea patients ''should'' be trusted with the knowledge of how to adjust the pressure settings on their own CPAP machine.  Of course, we always recommend consulting with a qualified sleep doctor before making any changes to sleep apnea therapy - that's simply common sense.</p><br>
