help, Drooling and bad sleep quality

Post by Usman » Wed Jun 05, 2019 9:28 am

Hey people,

I posted earlier on this issue but have no positive results. I am drooling too much while sleeping. once my mask is full of saliva i wake up and just put my mask away and sleep again which is causing bad sleep quality. even after using cpap since last 2 months have no positive result. My REI before using Cpap was 69.3 and after using cpap it came on 40 on average.
Can any one help me here in private it would be a great help.

Please confirm what your AHI is now that you are on cpap..... Is that 40 or 4.0? What is your leak rate?
Did you ever get the software installed so you can see all the detailed data?

Put something in your mask to help absorb the excess saliva so that it isn't so annoying.

Do you absolutely have to use a full face mask?
