Okay, that is not good, but you're trying and that is something so before you ditch it can you please try a new mode since the bipap can run cpap mode as well. Change the mode to cpap, set pressure to 8cm of constant pressure tonight and cflex on to 1. It should feel much better, but I'd please like you to try that before bed tonight to see how it feels.

AHI is low and event flags are minimal, I'd curtail the mask/leak check and let the mask float please. How are you feeling? This is only one night but the chart looks much better. If you still feel like you want to rip the mask off after another night or two it may be a sleep hygiene issue.

I like what the data is, I cant figure out why im getting a large leak i did wake up like 4 times only for short periods of time maybe its because of the large leaks? each time my mouth was kind of dry.

I'd give it a few more nights the pressure pulses are lining up with the beginning of the OA events too. You are likely having arousals based on factors outside of your therapy.
