Low vs high pressure Resmed

Low vs high pressure Resmed
I am getting left chest pain, feels like gases. since I started using CPAP 3 years ago.

Googling a bit , it seems that it could be from CPAP swallowing air.

I have checked my heart and everything was good..

There is pressure on my left side of chest, especially when I try to sleep on the left side..
I can hear gases in that area..

So do I bring the pressure down (resmed AIR Sense 10)
current pressure is 6 min, 10 max...

However, I also wake up a lot and sometimes gassping for air..... Also the left chest hurts when I gasp for air.

We really need to see OSCAR data to actually see what is causing this. Otherwise, it would be mere speculation. If you need help as to what to display and how, please see the links in my signature for help.
