Objects like mouth guards have created more saliva. So will this type of device create drooling? Do your lips get dry because they're not together and in contact with the mouth or tongue?
@kimhutchison797
@kimhutchison797 5 күн бұрын
Hi, there is an increase in saliva and potential drooling for the first several nights but typically resolves as your mouth gets used to it. There is minimal dry lips since there isn't air flowing across them, plus they stay pretty close together despite the tab. I hope this helps!

I use a wedge pillow, helps reduce reflux and sinus congestion. I sleep on my side with no problems but I use a longer wedge. I initially tried one of the more common wedges about 60cm long, but found it uncomfortable and made my lower back sore.

Aerophagia was an issue for me at the outset of CPAP therapy back in 2006. At that time, the pressures were indeed high. I also was using machines that compounded the problem (e.g., biPAP). After switching to APAP, my problems ceased, even with a full-face mask. For me, nasal masks did not perform well, due to nasal morphology, chronic stuffiness. One trick that I employed when aerophagia hit was to lay on my back upon waking up with knees bent for a few minutes. Seemed to move the gassiness along expeditiously! Another point - aerophagia did not feel like gas. It felt more like stomach pain - was alarming until I learned what was happening. Always work with your sleep medicine team until you get things resolved. It is so important to receive the adequate treatment, though it is hard to feel that way when you are sleep-deprived and perhaps not totally loving the CPAP treatment initially. I have used mine every night, all night since starting, and do not even think about it anymore. It was life-changing. Medical issues related to severe obstructive sleep apnea went away. Functioning went way up. So worth it. Good luck to all!

Ive started to get this over the last month or so, at least once a week.I find it happens if I'm nodding off sitting on the sofa. I 'hear' a crash as if 2 saucepan lids have been banged together just once right against my ear. I've got an ICD implant and initially I thought it was that firing at first but it isnt. ( its fired off before and I know the difference, the ICD is far more intense), but I looked it up and was amazed to find its called Exploding Head Syndrome - very apt, lol. At least I know now that its not dangerous. Thanks for your video. 🇬🇧

I’m new to CPAP, less than a month. The first mask they sent me was a Siesta full-face hard plastic monstrosity. It was a horrible experience causing me to despair of being able to use CPAP. I complained and they sent me the F40. What a difference! I can sleep in any position, even on my stomach.

I am going through hell with my CPAP machine. My face could not adjust to the pressure. I have gone through 6 masks. My facial features are quite average. I have tried both nasal and full face. I thought the pressure was already too high, my neurologist ordered a 2nd study ( titration) and they want to increase it even more!!! Came home and tried the new setting and the mask is grabbing my face even more. Jolting me as I breath. My neurologist suggested SURGERY if i dont adjust. I am losing my sanity from the horrible sleep paterns. I am about to just give up.

Hey Steven, I'm sorry to hear about your troubles and I hope you don't give up. Talk to your provider about temporarily lowering the pressure until you adjust then they can increase it later.
