Mouth Leaks

Posted by bbm300m on May 28, 2003 at 08:36:08:

I just started with the CPAP machine 2 weeks ago. My pressure is set at 15. I wake up with air coming out my mouth and a throat sooooo dry you can't swallow. After this happens three or four times a night, I take my nasal pillows out. Of course I still don't feel rested in the morning. I want this to work really bad! Any suggestions? I'm open for anything! They sent me a chin strap, but that does nothing. I'm a side sleeper, so a full mask won't work. At the sleep study kept knocking it off. I have a heated machine, set at 2.
