Will cpap machine work at 7, 000 feet?

Check first: Altitude significantly alters delivered CPAP pressure unless a unit has pressure-compensating features. Check with your doctor, and also check with your CPAP supplier on your specific machine. Some machines are good to 7500 ft.

Yes, but: Yes, but most likely will have to modify usage. Check with your sleep doc and manufacturers instructions.
