What could cause this chart??

I've been on a bipap since August, before was on cpap for 15 years. I have noticed that I seem to have a lot
of what I would call oscillating breathing patterns on my flow chart. Sometimes it lasts over an hour, I was
wondering just what this may signify? Other times I will go for extended periods with very shallow breathing
with not much in the way of exhale. They started me on the bipap at 15 and 19, but the pressure was too much,
it was actually blowing air out of my tear ducts, so I have lowered it to 8 and 12 to lessen the eyeball leaks. I
have attempted to attach a screenshot of the other night showing a lot of this oscillating. Any advice would
be appreciated.

Can you repost the chart with the Tidal Volume line added?

How about going to the original post above, click Edit, and change the title to 32% Variable Breathing Issue. This should help catch the eye of someone familiar with the issue.

I'm hoping that someone has seen something like this before, this happens once or twice a week, not always as severe as the posted chart.
