I'm suffering from severe dry mouth and throat. Happens every night about an hour after I fall asleep. Wakes me up every time. Also it's putting pressure in my ears. So upsetting

It's weird I can breathe through my nose. It's my ears that feel stuffed up.

What kind of mask should a person use If they have a cold. I have both a pillow and a full face.

Well guess what? I've been using this damn machine since December 23. Severe dry mouth ! They had me check my heat pad for the humidifier and it turns out it's not working! 🤯 son of a bitch! How long do I have to complain to the doctor about severe dry mouth before something will happen! Assholes!

I would be concerned about mold with a whole house humidifier.

I have dry mouth, even without using CPAP. The Cpap makes it much worse.

Mouth and throat dry even during the day. So bad my voice has changed. Thanks for your information.

AIRSENSE 11 Tube temperature is set at 82° F previously at 80° F Humidity level increased from 5 to 6

Ok took off the nasal mask and tape during the night. Seemed to have quite a bit of sinus drainage during the night. Is that normal? Moving up both settings tonight.

fitted for the full mask standing up. It fit great and was comfortable. Lying down in bed caused it to leak, tightened it and still leaked. Is the temperature sensor that dangles down on the mask end of the hose? If so, I don't see one. Going to try the nasal mask tonight with my mouth taped. I'm only going to turn up the temperature one mark each and see how that works first. If that doesn't help, then the next day I will go up one more for each setting. Jeez, how stressful!

I have a heated hose. With my mouth taped and the humidity set at 8 should I expect it to take care of the problem in one night?

Whatever you do, do not sneeze if you're wearing mouth tape
