The only changes I've made that I can attribute their ending are more sleep and using the ASV PAP. I'm 70 YO, 5' 10" and ...

... the humidifier tub. The CPAP can not create water on its own. Excess saliva very well could be going down your throat as you sleep and causing a cough to clear the saliva. Googling 'overactive salivary glands' may help describe the condition and symptoms.
