AHI
I've been on a bipap machine for many years and my AHI was always sub-5. Now I'm waking up to double digit AHI's. I don't notice any leaks and the machine supports no leaks. I've lost 230 pounds in the last 3 years and I was hoping to get off bipap not end up worse.

RE: AHI
You may need a new machine. Also, your machine (both of mine too, I have a dreamstation apap, and bipap auto) has been recalled because of the foam installed in the air chamber.
I just setup my new S10 yesterday so I don't have to use the dreamstations.
