Cheynes stoke respiration, false flag or accurate?

Cheynes stoke respiration, false flag or accurate?
Age - 24 male
5ft10 160 pounds
AHI 16 on sleep study
Mask - Airtouch full face
Machine - Resmed airsense 10
Other - Wearing mouth tape and knightsbridge chinstrap.

Im struggling to keep a cpap mask on all night so my data is very fragmented and i never get more than a couple of hours. Some sections of the data i am awake or half asleep and i cant remember exactly when at which points, as i often pull the mask off while asleep because im extremely tired. 
Last night cheynes breathing was flagged so now im worried. Does anyone know if i should be concerned about this? I have a strong family histroy of cardiac disease.

RE: Cheynes stoke respiration, false flag or accurate?
Here is a picture of CSR.  Like several footballs or tennis balls on a string.  

   

If you could show a 3 minute close up zoom of the area where the purple cluster of bars are, that would be a better OSCAR snapshot to evaluate.  I am not qualified to diagnose CSR, but the best move would probably be to show these charts to your PCP (or Cardiologist).  The vast majority of CSR flagged are false; but with a family history of cardiac disease, it seems like it could be a possibility.
