what is going on?

I've been on the CPAP for 2 1/2 months and was doing great. but now I'm having all kinds of problems. On Tuesday I got a new type of CPAP, one that has a battery hookup and A new head gear because the other one was to large and would'nt stop the leaks by my nose. The new head gear looks like (the only way I can discribe it) a big bra cup, and a heated humidifier. Everything fits great and works better than the other stuff I had. The first night I took off the mask several times and slept aweful. second night i actually popped the mask apart taking it off, i also noticed a very itchy chin so last night I left off the heat of the humidifier. I woke up at 3 am pulling off my mask and yelling at my husband that we don't hit or kick people because it hurts (I must have been dreaming that my daycare children were acting up). Good thing he has a great sence of humor, because I was being very firm when i yelled at him and he rolled over and told me "I will try harder to behave now put your mask back on and save the dicapline for tom." Is the new machine (no changes in setting) or new headgear doing this. I know I shouldn't be talking in my sleep. If any one has any suggestion please reply, I'm starting to get worn down.
