So my BIPAP machine has been having increased air pressure the last two nights. I couldn't sleep last night because my machine kept waking me up. I decided to check my chart and this is what I found.
I have a spare machine I changed out everything except the water chamber and the filters, and I still had the issue.
Any ideas?

I did find this thread about false positive snore testing. I did just clean my CPAP stand so maybe it is the tube rubbing or some other noise causing it.

This is more of a normal night. I have been feeling a bit wheezy the last couple days, not sure if those would register as snores and push up the pressure.

Check your filter(s) and make sure they are in proper placement.
Do an awake test for about 30 minutes and see if it still shows the excessive snores and you know with certainty you were awake and not snoring. Watch TV or read a book or something during the test.
