Noticing my CPAP machine has a feature where I can adjust the “EPR”. Not exactly sure what this is, should I be messing with it?

Hi Ian, Totally fair question! EPR stands for Expiratory Pressure Relief—it lowers the pressure slightly when you exhale, which can make breathing out feel more natural and comfortable. A lot of users find it helps them adjust to therapy more easily.
That said, it’s best to check with your doctor or provider before making any major changes to your settings, just to be sure it’s right for your specific needs.
