Does this indicate palate prolapse?

                Palate prolapse....something I hadn't thought about....but as I peruse the boards I am starting to think I should be thinking about it.  I never feel rested, even with low AHI.  Just a little sample, these screenshots - but it happens every night, as I go back through years of OSCAR and Sleepyhead data...

Any thoughts on these therapy screenshots?

Worth looking into if it's consistent. I don't think there are many solid treatments for it, but I know a member here is to be fitted with an oral appliance that is like a wire that hooks around the palate and keeps it away from the back of the throat so it doesn't flap shut like that. It's swiss-made and I don't know if it's even available here in the states at all.

Hello

It looks like "palate prolapse" but it can also be mouth breathing and your chart indicates a high level of leak. 
What kind of mask are you using? On my side, I use nasal mask with tape on my mouth and got 0 leak, so It can't be mouth breathing or I miss something...
I suspect also "palate prolapse", first solution I found is using higher level of EPAP. Below 12, I had "palate prolapse" breathing quite often during night but above an EPAP of 12, it doesn't occurs even if it seems that some strange expiration on some breath gave me arousal and wake me up, it is still better with high EPAP if leak are properly managed.
I'm trying since yesterday velumount orthesis that can be found in Swizerland, I just used for 1 night and started to reduce the pressure, I will update on my thread in few days about the result I get from it.
