Hopefully this what you need. I'll try another and post after i get some guidance from this.

That looks pretty close to what we need, although a bit more zoom would not hurt. I also want to get a look at the respiratory statistics including tidal volume. Turning off the pie-chart in File/Preferences/Appearance will help.
We see normal respiration without flow limitation at a rate of 18-19 bpm. The snore (VS2) may be that small squiggle at the top of the inspiratory wave. Do you have a bed partner that can confirm or refute snoring? This may also be the tube causing feedback noise. In any event I think you can turn off the VS2 line for now. You apparently have zero events but don't feel rested. We have several options that might help us find more comfortable settings. We can use the Auto BiPAP option with variable pressure and pressure support, or try fixed bilevel pressure at lower settings. We don't know the history behind your settings that resulted in these high pressures and pressure support. It does not appear you need this much pressure support (difference between IPAP and EPAP).

I just changed the machine to 14/10. I did the auto and I still had to put numbers in. Are these numbers okay or do I need to change?

Jeff, the chart you posted still shows 20/14 pressure. Is that correct? If you did reduce pressure, how do you feel about your comfort compared to before?

Last night I had the pressure changed and I felt much better this morning. No cement mouth, no headache and felt pretty good.

That looks great. Let’s just monitor for a week and see how it goes
