Question About nasal mask

Post by apenutt » Mon Oct 26, 2015 8:47 pm

the other night i work up gurgleing water out the side of my mouth while laying partially on my back and partially on my side. I think the humidity level was up to high. Has this happened to anyone else?

It's called rainout...too much humidity is a possibility. Try lowering it and try to keep your CPAP lower than your mattress. Any excess water (condensation) in the hose will run downhill back to the humidifier.
