Re: Mouth sticking at night

Been on cpap for more than 20 yrs. Use nasal pillows since they came out. Last 6 months or so several times at night my mouth sticks together. It wakes me and is scary! I use a humidifier. I don’t mouth breathe. No mask leaks. I sleep on my left side only. Can’t sleep in right side due to CGM senso...

Many mouthwashes produce dry mouth because of the alcohol they contain.
Look for a non-alcohol mouthwash.
It’s not mouthwash bc I don’t use it. But thank you.

Re: Mouth sticking at night

Meds all the same but I will try to find those mints! the xlymelts should be in your grocery or drugstore in the dental hygiene section along side the toothpaste. or if not there, on amazon. they work a treat! Thx. I ordered them on Amazon earlier. Not sure I need them but am curious about the adhe...

Re: Mouth sticking at night

Any recent changes in medication, either the med or the dosage? A number of medications cause dry mouth. BTW, Xylamelts come in two flavors. There are other brands, but I only know of Xylamelts having the adhesive back that sticks to your cheek, gum, or roof of mouth. This is important so you do no...

Re: Mouth sticking at night

. . . Can’t sleep in right side due to CGM sensor. . . . The CGM sensor works fine when placed on the INSIDE of the upper arm, --where I have been putting mine for three years+. They only want it on the outside to force us to ADVERTISE for them --and get it knocked off on doorways and furniture. An...

Re: Mouth sticking at night

I think my machine would tell me I had a leak. it tells you when you have a large leak. micro leaks can still happen and go unreported. Okay but since I’m 99.9999% sure I don’t mouth breathe I’ll assume it’s from diabetes or the thc vape I use before bed. I only take mild opiates in the morning and...

Re: Mouth sticking at night

Never cared for any mouthwash. I don’t drink either so maybe it’s that alcohol taste. Last night was fine. It’s not an every night occurrence. Scares me when it happens though. A mouthwash is a temporary relief of dry mouth - maybe five minutes. How do you know your mouth doesn't open for a few min...

Re: Mouth sticking at night

It’s Biotene that I use. You like the taste? I’ll look for those mints. Don’t keep water by bed because when this wakes me up I typically go pee and get water from bathroom sink.


I will look into the links Pugsly sent. Thanks for the help!

Re: Mouth sticking at night

My lips stick to each other. My teeth stick to my tongue. It’s weird. I bought a mouthwash for dry mouth but honestly it tastes bad so seldom use it.
