dry throat during day

Post by Gertie » Mon Apr 24, 2017 11:19 am

Experiencing a fullness in my sinus cavaties since I started using CPAP - and several times during day so congested when I speak it sounds like
I have a terrible head cold - and my ears are plugged , and also at times I have such dry spots in the back of my throat I feel like I have to cough to
correct it. Anyone else having this problem? I've been to Ear Nose and Throat Clinics and all they recommend is Flonase which does not alleviate
the situation.

LSAT, Which mask are you using?

It sounds like you may be mouthbreathing with a nasal interface, but that is just a guess without more information.
