RE: Pressure 15. Dreamwear
Welcome ABT4. I am not sure, but a more knowledgeable person will chime in, soon.

I suspect there isn't a problem, but guess it is the pressure 15 cm that is causing the ear and head (sinus) to feel 'stretched'.

Any pain that does not subside should be mentioned to the doctor's staff.

Good luck,

I've had my Dreamwear at 15 and above on occasions and haven't had any problems.

It could be just because you are not used to the feel of pressure.  Is this the pressure your doctor prescribed?  You also could lower the pressure until you start to feel comfortable.  A pressure of 15 may be too much for just starting out.

You can also try sitting up watching TV or reading with mask and machine on an hour a day just to get used to it.

Please filled out your profile....what brand machine are you using, Cpap or Auto Cpap?

RE: Pressure 15. Dreamwear
On occasion I can feel a slight pressure in my ears.
not enough to cause pain or discomfort.
goes away before I fall asleep.

If your not doing it already, try the ramp feature.
