 Gurnee, IL Member Since: 06/10/10 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 6/3/11 11:55 am Just wondering if anyone else has/had the same experiences. Since about 50lbs lost, I started having issues with my mouth drying out while wearing the mask. I stopped wearing it and about 2 weeks ago, I noticed the headaches again after sleeping. So, last night, after a full washing, I wore the mask and AGAIN, my mouth dried out. I ended up waking up many times last night till I eventually took off the mask at 4am. Not my best sleep I must say. Is this normal? What has anyone else noticed? Thanks   |

Do you think your mouth is opening while using the CPAP? If so, you can get a chin strap to keep your mouth closed. I wouldn't recommend stopping CPAP unless you know for sure your apnea has ceased. |
