Large Leaks, Need Help

Large Leaks, Need Help
Have been on APAP and looking at the data, have been getting lots of large leaks. 08/14 and 08/15 data are with nasal pillows and 08/16 is with full face mask (Resmed Airfit F20). Am unsure if it's due to mask leak or mouth leak. Seeking help on this as I'm kind of clueless here.

Attached additional 08/17 screenshot.

RE: Large Leaks, Need Help
One of the experts will come along soon. In the meantime:
-- Large Leaks are in only a small percentage of the night. I wouldn't worry excessively. You could try mouth taping but it is too early to go down that road.
-- AHI is respectable. Zero is not the goal. It's all about how you feel.
-- I am wondering why you don't use EPR. Suggest trying 3 full time to combat hypopnea.
