How to improve performance of sleep apnea cpap machine without docs' help?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Pap machines are highly sophisticated instruments that must be adjusted and titrated for maximum results. Please don't attempt this on your own, seek professional guidance.

CPAP: Cpaps are prescribed because the person is not getting adequate oxygen while sleeping. This is a life threatening disorder, putting one at risk for heart attack, high blood pressure, stroke, and diabetes, just to name a few.Adjusting these devices without medical supervision is dangerous and should not be done.
