RE: Help please exhausted all the time
We would be much better able to help you if you downloaded Oscar, our free apnea reporting program that can be used to create terrific charts that show us incredible information about each night's sleep. You can download and learn more about it in the black ribbon at the top of every page.
From what you have written, it is obvious that your starting pressure is much too low for an adult. Please raise it to 7 for now. Also, you don't need ramp anymore, so please turn it off.
Those two changes should help right away, then once we see an Oscar chart we will probably be able to help more.
I'm praying that God helps you achieve great therapy and comfort.

The older we get, it seems like we look back and compare how we felt back then, to how we feel today.
Not a good standard of comparison. See your family doctor and get a good complete check-up. CPAP won't cure everything. Get some lab work done and go from there, just to sure all falls within the guidelines for your age.
I turned 70 last October and seeing lots more lab requests then I used to. I have great family doc and he's very proactive.
