Sore throat

[burnside]

I am a new S9 user and am experiencing a sore throat upon waking up. Does any one know a remedy for this problem. Thanks.

You have not given us any information regarding your machine or mask...If you are not using a full face mask, you are problibly breathing through your mouth which often causes dry/sore throats in the AM. Does your machine have a humidifier??? Are you using it???

Sorry about not giving all the info as I said Im new to all this. Anyway I am using the humidifier and a nasal pillow. Before using CPAP, I never woke with a sore throat. I believe my humidifier is set to 3 and the heated hose is set to 82. Thanks again for all your help.

You can go to the User Control Panel in the upper left of the forum window and click on it if you are logged in and then find a tab that lets you enter all your equipment. Text is better than icons. This way you don't have to retype the equipment every time you have a question about how something works or should be working.

Also for the sore throat problem: What's your pressure set at?

You might try increasing the humidity level a bit too. And do try to determine if you are breathing through your mouth at night.
