Can't Stop Drooling
Can't Stop Drooling
I used a Respironics M Series - R3 for 8 years and never drooled once. Now I have a ResMed AirSense10 Autoset machine and I drool all the time.
Please help!

What changed besides the machine brand? Pressure setting? EPR? Humidifier settings? Mask?grokJim wrote:I used a Respironics M Series - R3 for 8 years and never drooled once. Now I have a ResMed AirSense10 Autoset machine and I drool all the time.

Re: Can't Stop Drooling
I should add that I use a nasal mask and my mouth is not staying closed even when I use a chin strap. All settings are set to Auto.

The biggest change is that with the old machine the settings were set to fixed values and with the new machine they are set to Auto.

Did it stay closed with the previous machine?grokJim wrote:I should add that I use a nasal mask and my mouth is not staying closed even when I use a chin strap.
This is a problem that needs to be addressed because an open mouth with a nasal mask can mean so much pressure is lost that your therapy is not effective.
The standard here is to use Sleepyhead software and post some data. This gives us something to work with on advising you. https://sleep.tnet.com/resources/sleepyhead and

Re: Can't Stop Drooling
FWIW, I use waterproof surgical tape over my mouth. It's hardly an elegant solution, but it works for me wonderfully.

I would not do that until the machine settings and data can be checked with Sleepyhead.mesenteria wrote:FWIW, I use waterproof surgical tape over my mouth. It's hardly an elegant solution, but it works for me wonderfully.

I assume that my mouth stayed closed with the old machine since I didn't drool and didn't have dry mouth. Never had reason to consider a chin strap.
I DLed the Sleepy Head sw but then noticed that it doesn't support my machine:
(I'd like to insert a screenshot here but I can't figure out how to do it. Is there a way?)

Re: Can't Stop Drooling
What makes you think that SleepyHead doesn't support that model machine?grokJim wrote:Now I have a ResMed AirSense10 Autoset machine
SleepyHead most definitely will work with the AirSense 10 AutoSet.

Re: Can't Stop Drooling
That particular page is outdated...he forgot to update it.
Way outdated...SleepyHead now supports the ResMed AirSense/Aircurve machines and all the Respironics DreamStation models EXCEPT for the DreamStation ASV model.
I am using SleepyHead right now and also using an AirSense 10 AutoSet...it will work just fine.

Re: Can't Stop Drooling
Sometimes I drool when cooking.
A little dribble just leaks out the corner and runs down my chin.
Maybe it's old age.
Or bacon.
