New machine and dry mouth-uggh

Post by sleepy4dori » Sat Mar 04, 2023 12:32 am

Hi.

A few weeks ago, they replaced my ResMed Airsense 10 Autoset (APAP) with a new machine (same make/model).

Since then, I wake up with a dry mouth every morning. This didn’t happen with the other machine and I was using that since 2021. It was the exact machine.

I don’t know what the settings were on the other machine.

Currently, the settings for Climate Control and tube temp are set at Auto. Should I change this? If yes, to what?

I do use a humidifer (set for 60) in my room and have been using one for at least 1 year and never had issues before.

I don’t think I’m sleeping with my mouth open, as this never happened before with the other machine. I checked for leaks and there appears to be none. It’s a new tube, new water chamber too. My mask is the Bleep mask.

Any solutions on what I can do?

Thanks

Do you know how to enter the clinical menu to see what your pressure settings are ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcPp1i0XuYU&t=2s )? Can you ask the supplier what your pressure settings were on the old machine?

BTW, five minutes of mouth-breathing can cause a very dry mouth.
