Yeah, that could be a problem for me, I cannot breathe through my nose... haven't been able for decades...

So I figured I probably need to keep the humidity up high for my mouth breathing.

I haven't suffered air swallowing yet - that sounds like an odd thing!

I'll let you all know how I go over the next two weeks, as I then take this APAP machine back, and they give me a fixed CPAP machine to take home.

Cheers,
Richard
