Sometimes my higher leaks are paired with lower episodes. Other times my lower leaks are paired with higher episodes. I haven't found an explanation for this. Any thoughts?
This is a guess, but perhaps when there are leaks, the CPAP can't detect apnea events (lack of resistance to air flow?) and vice versa.
I have the same issues.
It also seems like it's a constant battle vs. leaks and I have to adjust my mask. It seems to ride up the bridge of my nose and leaks. The non-adjustable part of the headgear pulls it up.

Central apnea must be treated via an adaptive servo-ventilator (ASV). BiPap and APap don't work for all but a very few patients who have all or mostly central apnea.

Net: I need a better fitting mask.
