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.
