Re: Will I know if my mouth opens up at night with a nasal mask

Hang in there! Is the idea that you breathe air in through your nose, but then air sneaks into your mouth and goes out through your lips? If that's it, I'd suggest you work on getting your tongue to do a better job. Try putting the tip of your tongue behind your upper front teeth. Then position the...

Re: Will I know if my mouth opens up at night with a nasal mask

I patented my own kind of liner (using the fabric of a t-shirt), however, my mask makes so much noise that I couldn't tolerate it. So I went back to the nasal one for the night and I realized that during the night I was breathing through my nose but the air was going in my mouth (if that makes sense...

Re: Will I know if my mouth opens up at night with a nasal mask

I as well have started out with a full face mask and also had same problem as you. I would sleep on my side and mouth would be wide open and I would drool and this would break the seas with the mask and wake me up with a puddle of drool in the mask. I tried the nasal pillows for a few nights and fo...

Re: Will I know if my mouth opens up at night with a nasal mask

Thank you, I didn't know that there were mask liners, I might try that instead of the nasal mask. I'll try my test again to see if there is a leak or not.

Will I know if my mouth opens up at night with a nasal mask

Hello!! 2 days ago, I decided to try a nasal mask. I'm usually using a full face mask, however, I'm producing too much saliva at night and I wake up because my mask is wet :|. Because of that, I ditch the CPAP in the middle of the night... which is not ideal. As soon as I touch the pillow, I'm a mou...

Re: Kinda lost - UARS

Hello there!! I’m back! I was finally called in July for a polysomnography, my penumologist called me with my result 2 weeks ago and confirmed I had UARS. She said it’s mild therefore we may not need to try to fix it. She asked me about my symptoms, I said I had been diagnosed with severe depression...

Re: Kinda lost - UARS

I’ll try adjusting the mask again. I don’t know what happens in the middle of the night to make me loose the fitting.

When you say irregularities, do you have a screenshot so O can look if there are any ?

Re: Kinda lost - UARS

Hi everyone, I’ve been using my CPAP diligently for the past months so far I don’t see any difference with or without wearing it. I still have some trouble with the fitting of my mask from 3am to 6am, it gets looser and I can ear it leaking. I don’t know why. Also, I’m wondering why some of my apnea...

Re: Kinda lost - UARS

@dog slobber I’m not using wipes I’m cleaning my mask with soap and water, is it okay for me to wear it when it’s still wet? The leakage is not linked with a pressure increase no. I tried adjusting it while laying down tonight it was better but still a lot of leakage. The leak is at my nose, the air...

Re: Kinda lost - UARS

@Aprilia I have UARS too. I'm amazed and envious that you have adjusted to therapy right away with no problems. I'm still struggling many months later and can only manage to keep a mask on for 3 hours or less. Some nights I give up before I fall asleep because it's keeping me awake. In fact I'm up ...

Re: Kinda lost - UARS

Guys I’m noticing that it’s been 3 days that the leakage has significantly increases. It’s worse at around 3am, so much that it wakes me up :/
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong -_- my mask seems correctly in place though.

Re: Kinda lost - UARS

My goal was to understand my tiredness (don’t even know if the word exist, sorry I’m French 🤣) since I don’t have sleep apnea. My initial report showed a lit of RERAs but I don’t know what it looks like so I can’t look for it in the Oscar’s reports. 1st night was okay, 2nd and 3rd I felt bad waking ...

Re: Kinda lost - UARS

So I completed my 3 first nights and here are the results.

I really don’t know what I’m looking at or looking for here.

Re: Kinda lost - UARS

So I got my machine, I set it up yesterday and went for my first night. I’m now trying to understand the Oscar data but it looks like my data does not cover RERAs ?! Is this normal? Also in order to share a screenshot I’m looking for a list of elements to include and even though I used the search ta...
