tongue is stuck to roof of mouth in the mornings
Hey Meg:
I had this issue, too, after surgery. I had lost, actually, only about 30# (FAR less than I thought would affect the CPAP pressure). My surgeon wanted me to wait for awhile after surgery before using the CPAP (pressure on the incisions or something) and when I went back to using it, I was swallowing so much air I had gas pains all day. Called my pulmonologist and he lowered it from 18 to 14. MUCH better now.
Give the prescribing doc a call and he may be willing to do it after talking with you and asking you a few questions.
Good luck!
