Newbie with extreme dry mouth

[Ronsil]

Please help! I have been using my BIPAP machine for almost 2 weeks . I have only managed to get through the night twice. I wake up every 30-60 minutes with extremely dry mouth. I am using a Liberty mask. Any suggestions would be really appreciated. Thanks

If you're using a humidifier, crank it up. If you're not, get one. If you're able to breathe through your nose comfortably, maybe a chinstrap would help to keep your mouth closed.

Also, please list your equipment in your profile (which will help other forum members help you). Click on:

In the Additional Comments area, you can list your pressure settings, any other equipment you use, any extra info you want the forum to know about your set-up.
Then click on the Submit button.

I've noticed on the Liberty, I need a higher humidity setting than other masks I've tried. So yes, use a humidifier, but if you are, dial it up a bit. I'm at 3 on mine.
