I found the same as you, thought I wasn't a mouth breather until I woke up with a dry mouth and major leaks ... I now sleep with the Seatec Chin Strap. I didn't have any problem getting used to the chinstrap, and I actually find that the mask is sitting better with it on. ( I have very long shiny ha...

Could you use a room dehumidifier along with you AC to help. no real need once ac is running, it's only my face that is sweating from mask. Most masks will work with liners. For many people a liner is the only way to wear a mask due to their skin reacting to being sealed in. Just try it. cool, I wi...

Thanks for your ideas so far. sheffey is right its more the humidity then the heat that is a problem. The wet weather has not yet started and the humidity is still building up, so my problem will only become worse. Last night i had a shower before bed and dried my face off and before i got to bedroo...

Im laying here trying to sleep right now and I can feel the sweat running on my face where the Mask touch my skin, Im having both ac and ceiling fan on but it seem to give little relief. Before "the mask" i used to turn ac on 30 min before sleep then off. Now its on chewing energy all night coz i ca...

In the last 1,5 month I have lost 8,5 kg ((go me!!) I'm wondering if this would effect the pressure needed for therapy. I never been a mouth breather but in the last 2 weeks where I lost 4 kg I noticed the machine started to complain about leakage and this has never happened before. Bought a chinstr...

As a new user of both CPAP and this forum I got to say, I felt nothing but welcomed and everybodies imput to what I asked has been highly appreciated. In regards to so many members and so few people being active, users comes gets their answers and move on, that keeps happening on forums. Personally ...

PTS what you said is so interesting, specially since dr's always complain that i am so hard to wake up after surgery. I will ensure to tell them about the sleep apnea! My last operation i actually opted for having a screw removed under local anaesthesia, surgeons didn't like it, as they usually put ...

I'm having all the hardware removed from my ankle had a BAD tib/fib fracture last year, had nothing but problems with ankle/foot since I'm unsure if they will do it during under day surgery or if it will involve over night stay. Also wondering over different pain medications impact on sleep apnea.

Do you bring your CPAP macine to hospital and has your sleep apnea been effected by General anesthetic?

Thank you, my main question is about Oxygen levels. My hands and arms constantly fell asleep during the night before I got the CPAP machine, we are talking more then 5 times per night. This hasn't happend since I started CPAP and I got into my head that my body took oxygen from parts where it was ne...

Need help to read my report, my sleep technician said " you got severe sleep apnea and this is what we are going to do about it" and that was as far as understanding the charts went. So anybody out there who can explain further and I would be grateful http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w293/rpenndra...

Thank you lytepole, you make me feel less crazy you are right about all the changes but at the same time I actually sleep better even with waking up adjusting mask then I did before. I used to have episodes 60 times/hour and used to wake up not being able to breath at least twice per hour together a...

Thank you for reply, I'm not currently on any medication however I had a lot of horrible things happened in the last 2 years. Bad accident, loss of home, ect. perhaps this is just me (trying) to deal with built up grief now that my body has energy to deal with other things then just being stressed f...

Dunno if this has happened to anybody else when started CPAP treatment. I have now been using the machine each night as clockwork since I started 10 nights ago. And even though I have had some problems with Masks, this hasn't effected my use of the machine. When I first started to use the machine I ...

Extremely interesting reading for those with PCOS and OSA, I wish I would have known this 15 yrs ago when I was diagnosed with PCOS. I spoke to my GP yesterday she had not heard about the correlation between these two. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3030192/
