Ear pressure issues while using CPAP?

Has anyone experienced ear popping or pressure buildup while on CPAP? I've been getting that same plugged feeling you get on planes... I was just wondering if there's a fix or if it's normal or something I should bring up with my doctor. I have a checkup coming up anyway. TIA.

Yeah, that can happen usually from pressure being too high or if your eustachian tubes don't equalize well. I'd definitely mention it at your checkup, hey might adjust your settings or ramp time
 
Same here. Had this problem initially and I spoke to the doc and he made some adjustments and it's been good since then. @Martha B.C is right, you'll want to talk to your doc to tweak the settings
