I have noticed that every time I increase my pressure, my leak rate goes way up. I also feel better, but my AHI goes up significantly too. Is the AHI increase related to the increase in leaks?

If your mouth opens when you sleep, and the air being pumped in by Cpap is at a higher pressure, it stands to reason that your mouth will open wider.
