My throat and mouth are so dry some nights since I’ve been using my ResMed CPAP… I can hardly even manage to swallow. We put a humidifier in the room and that seems to help a little, but I am still very, very dry. Is this normal? Any ideas on how to prevent?
After increasing the humidity setting, this got better for me.
What style of mask are you using? If you are using a nasal mask you are likley opeing your mouth while sleeping. As Nurse Elsa mentioned, you should try increasing the humidity on your cpap machine or trying a chin strap. If those things do not help you may consider switching to a full face mask.
