CPAP Newbie

Post by SoccerMom269 » Sat May 18, 2024 6:53 am

Good morning,

I have moderate Sleep Apnea. I use an APAP machine. I have tried all of the different masks. I have also tried the mouth piece. Struggling to get a good nights sleep. The issue is trying to figure out how to sleep with the mask on as while sleeping my mouth will open and the air 'blasts' into my mouth, waking me up. Ideas?

Thank you.

Don't get discouraged. This is a common problem, and the members can help with solutions.

Nasal-only masks cover the nose and not the mouth. Full-face masks (FFMs) cover the nose and mouth.

Which of those two types are you using? Also, which model is it.
