Hello
the last couple of nights I have had problems taking large breaths. You can see it here in the flow rate. I ended up waking up and taking the mask off. Same happened this morning. My settings are at 6-15. I've never seen it go over 10. Any ideas on what is going on and what to do?

the simplest explanation is:
your mask stopped venting properly a while before your flow rate started increasing leading to hyperventilation and you taking the mask off. This is also supported by a zero leak during that time.
When was the last time you washed it? Did you sneeze into it by any chance during the night ?

I'm not sure when i washed it...I usually rinse it off in the sink and hang it to dry. I'll make sure to do a better job cleaning it before tonight. Thanks!
