Sore throat from not using CPAP possible?

I've been using the CPAP for a month now. The nights I take off my mask for 3-4 hours while asleep, I wake up with a sore throat.

Is it possible to get a sore throat after using CPAP for some time because of the snoring and conditioning to having a CPAP keep the airway open?

Why would mouth breathing cause sore throats?

I've been getting sore throats lately. I keep taking my mask off so I'm trying to find the reason. I'm wearing a nasal mask. I do not have a dry mouth upon waking up. I don't know if I'm a mouth breather or not. I wake up with my mouth closed. My filter was kind of dirty so I changed it. Why would m...

Mask Breathing Sound waking me up!

Hi everyone, I've been on cpap for 3 weeks. Sometimes when I sleep with the A/C on, I feel like I get better sleep. The days I have the a/c off, I wake up a lot more and the noise of the breathing of the mask annoys me. There is no leaks or anything, it's just that I can hear that whole darth vading...
