mouth leak

Post by lukasz » Tue Dec 11, 2018 7:37 pm

Hey everyone and thank you for your past posts.

I had a uvelectomy last year and now the cpap machine doesn't work because air escapes from the mouth (full-face mask doesn't work either).

Folks have told me to try a cervical neck brace but this didn't work either.

I'm currently working on taping my mouth shut.

I tend to fall asleep and wake up instantly. Not sure if this could be central sleep apnea, high pressure or something else.

I'm currently trying with the nose mask that was included with the cpap machine.

Please share your thoughts.

Thank you advance.

Duplicate post and thread.
Did you lose your first one? You have good responses in it.
