[CPAP] 3 months on CPAP but not a single successful night

Use the pressure settings that were prescribed by your Sleep Study as a starting point.

You are not adapting yet to using PAP therapy.  That is not uncommon.  

Finding a mask you will tolerate is not uncommon.  Finding the best mask can be a long difficult task.

Your short sleep sessions show therapy is happening at pressure level 7, but 2 hours is not enough for it to make much difference in the way you feel and not enough hours of PAP use to produce a proper report. 

Some put the mask on, start the machine, and stay awake for a while to help to become accustomed to the mask.  Some do breathing exercises, meditation, and other activities attempting to adapt to PAP therapy.

It took me several months to accept the mask.   You may want to search how to get used to CPAP for instructions on methods to become tolerant of the mask and the flow of air.  It was a strange difficult task for me.

Changing pressure settings randomly will not help you adapt to the mask.  Use your prescribed settings and seek help with how to adapt to the mask.  

Some do not adapt to CPAP.  Best of luck.

I was sent with the 5-20 setting
I didn't do a titration study, I went to my hospital with my SD card so they read it for me, but they didn't, they can't/know/want how to read it

I give up on them, that's why I am here.

Finding a good mask was tough but I finished this journey. I like my BMC nasal mask and it's comfortable. I don't think I still have a problem with the mask and sleeping with CPAP
I have a problem staying asleep with CPAP

"I don't think I still have a problem with the mask and sleeping with CPAP

I hope you find a way to stay asleep with PAP therapy.  Your setting of 7 cm CPAP is a candidate for effective therapy as your report shows.

Staying asleep with a CPAP mask is very difficult for some as you now know.  There are threads written here on the topic of adapting to the mask with information that may be useful.  Searching here and the net may produce techniques/methods/tips that can help you adapt and stay asleep with CPAP.

As I attempted to adapt I would wake up and remove the mask often.  I also would remove it while asleep and find it the next day next to me.  I thought I would not be able to do it but after months of trying I did.  I did a mental thing of pretending I needed the mask on to survive. That was 19 years ago.  I still find the mask intolerable at times.
