help : overabundance of saliva in the mouth and mouth leaking

[Albatros]

I started the CPAP treatment 3 months ago (sleep test 34 apneas).

I am globally satisfied with my results (AHI from 0.5 to 2.5) and with my progress in reading the results thanks to the Forum and Oscar.

That said, my nights and days are not yet "a long quiet river".

I am struggling with:
- a high level of FL's (some of which is related to structural nasal congestion)
and
- high saliva secretion with strong mouth leaking.

I can't control this overabundant saliva + mouth leaking, with a pillow mask P10, in spite of using a tape,chin strap ..., and I am forced to use a FFM, F20 which I am satisfied with.

However, even with this FFM, my sleep is strongly fragmented by this saliva under pressure. Even with a tape on the mouth and my efforts to stick the tongue on the palate.

I am wondering if my pressure settings of 12 - 17 with EPR 3 are not too high and responsible for the intensity of my mouth leaking?

Would it be a good idea to significantly lower them, gradually by several mm?

Than you

I would first see my GP or dentist to ask if there are conditions that produce your symptoms - there are actually, and I would not assume they're all Cpap/Osa related automatically.

Already done.
Thank you;

I tend to drool when I'm cooking.
I'm not that good a cook; but quite hungry by the time I get my butt in gear.
