My machine leaves me with terrible dry mouth!! Are there any solutions to remedy the dry mouth?

Most place s give you a chin strap to keep your mouth closed. You must open your mouth during the night at some point because that what causes it. I have 2

Yes I can't deal I down bottles of Water like its my job in the morning smh lol.

My CPAP has a heated hose to provide a humid air flow. Helps the dry mouth. If you have the same, try adjusting humidity level.

You might want to have the doctor turn down the pressure on your CPAP. That is what I did and I don't get the dry mouth anymore.

I need to design a few ultra cool CPAP masks. Being single when I have a friend stay over it is quietly slid under the Bed lol.

Luckily my machine has a reservoir for distilled Water and also the adjustable heat settings to prevent dry throat.

Erica2185 : you may be sleeping with your mouth open. If that is the case the machine can not do its job. You may have to get the nose/ mouth type . I have the same issue, even with the chin strap. Dr. said that I continue to stop breathing at that point ( not as much as before) and i may have to go the the nose/ mouth type of apperatus.will know when I go for my next
appoitment.

I have a nose/mouth mask because I can't breathe through my nose at all. You should be able to adjust the humidity levels and a heated tube really helps.
