Post CPAP has lost presssure 
My CPAP machine seems to have lost pressure-it used to be very strong now the air is too weak to be helpful-is there a way to adjust pressure? I didn't change anything that I know of.  Thanks

Have you had the machine checked by your DME to see if it has reduced pressure ?
The 'perceived' loss of pressure could be down to the fact that you have gotten used to the pressure and don't 'perceive' it to be sufficient. This can be quite common.

Pressure adjustments should not be carried out without clear instructions from your sleep doctor.

I suggest that you contact your DME in the first instance.
