Increase in AHI caused by mask?

I recently tried the new Sleepweaver cloth mask.  It was incredibly comfortable, as far ask masks go.  However, I noticed that my AHI, which has always been 2 or below started creeping up while I was using it.  It got to 5 before I determined the mask wasn't for me for other reasons than the increase in AHI.  Has anyone else experienced this with trying different masks?  Just curious.

i am guessing that that mask you would need a slight increase in pressure ask your doctor for their opinion

I was advised not to use this mask as it is mainly for those with a low pressure.   My EPAP is 8 and IPAP runs around 13.5.
