Brief Answer:
Titration with high pressure should be done.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
This is common issue with abnormal sleep study patients.
I think you might need higher pressure in titration study.
So tell technician to do titration study with higher CPAP pressure.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
