Severe Dry Mouth

[csb]

I'm using a Rest Meds Nasal Activa Lt. mask along with a Fisher/Paykel Icon+ Machine. The machine has the humidifier along with a heated hose. It seems like no matter where I set the humidifier I still wake up with bad Cotton Mouth. Any ideas or pointers?

Most likely mouth breathing...Tape your mouth, get a chin strap or use a full face mask

Taped mouth the last two nights, no change. I fill the water chamber every night before I retire and there is still some water in it in the morning.

Look at Cpap.com for very large variety of full face masks.

Humidifier is not designed to keep mouth wet while mouth breathing. It is designed to keep nasal passages damp. Get a full face mask and a chin strap and get some orajel for dry mouth.

i have dry mouth with out leaks so check your leaks to know if you need a full face mask. Sleepyhead is best to do this because you can see how big and how long the leaks are. I use the Orajel For Dry Mouth before bed and then keep a spray bottle of Biotene at the bedside. It's been a long time since I have had to use the spray but I have it there if needed.

Tried tape, chin strap, Biotene & Orajel for very dry mouth with Amara View ffm all of which I used together or separately & still didn't work, plus I hated the taste & too much stuff on my face..what does work for me is the Amara View, a soft collar from the Walmart website & one xylimelt. The soft collar I can tolerate better then anything else I have tried. It does get a little hot, so I do take a small brake from everything once during the night for 1/2 hr or so. By my keeping at it, I feel it I am progressing with the therapy, and will have an overall good awaking experience everyday.

I've used this nasal mask for the past three years and never had a problem up until the last 6 mo.. I change the cushion every mo. and have never had a problem with leakage.
