Definitely: You can definitely try to adjust settings. Let the company know as well as your physician. Another possibility may be that the mask does not fit anymore and that' s why you cannot tolerate it. The answer will be provided by a titration sleep study.

Sleep apnea: No you should not change the settings but you must see the doctor who set the initial instrument.
