I think 15 is high, but I am not sure. Get ready for some good sleep, my cpap did my sleep wonders.

It is high. However, the pressure is also based on height and weight. This is according to my wife who conducts, interprets and teaches patients about the c-pap machines. If you would like more info PM me and I'll have my wife answer your questions.

Ps, you will get used to the discomfort of the face mask/apperatus you chose, and once this happens your quality of sleep will be excellent.

Hope this helps,

Bergie

Navydoc2,

I have a sleep study scheduled myself.

The psychiatrist wrote a consult and the cut my Xanax dose in half...she said it was dangerious for me to be taking so much with symptoms of SA...I'm a nervious wreck now, I plan to cancel the appt. the agoraphobia is not under control with the regular dose of Xanax...

Hope you arte getting some good sleep...I sure need some!

I would go ahead and have the sleep study. I am getting good sleep, the only thing is I'm struggling to keep it on all night since I normally sleep on my stomach. I keep finding it off and on the side of the bed in th morning lol. I do feel more rested than I ever have before though. Give it a shot and if you don't have sa no harm no foul you can go back on the Xanax.
