air blowing into mouth

Post by jbgilm » Wed Jan 15, 2020 11:23 am

For quite a while I had a problem with air filling my mouth. This bothered my wife because the air would come out, making ridiculous sounds on the way. I sort of solved the problem by taping my mouth shut. That stopped the noise and made my wife happy, but air still filled my mouth. When I told the doctor about this solution she was seriously unhappy because I could vomit, and with my mouth sealed shut I could choke on it. She said I needed a bipap instead of a cpap. A bipap can have a lower pressure during exhale than a cpap. Her theory was that when I was exhaling, air would rush into my mouth. With lower pressure during exhaling, air would not constantly fill my mouth. It worked!!! Bipaps rock!!

Glad you got a BiLevel machine and that you have a working solution.

A lot of us tape, I don't think that taping is a serious vomiting concern.

If vomiting is a concern what was her feelings on full face masks ? Lol that would be harder than tape to get off.

Do you vomit in your sleep often?

I've heard of it happening to some rock stars (Jimi Hendrix, John Bonham) after 24 hour drug and drink binges.
I guess if you regularly pass out on the floor following 24 hour+ drink/drug binges then you'd need to be concerned about it. :D
