I am CPAPed since last month

Almost 35 days with my REMstar Plus with C Flex and humidifier. I use the Comfort Curve. I felt better from the first night. Pressure 10. But today, I am tired. I think I am breathing with my mouth open. What should I do?

Welcome to the board. Mouth breathing has been a problem for quite a few of us. There are many alternatives. Some train themselves to keep their mouth shut or hold their tongue at the roof of their mouth to stop the flow. Others use chin straps, some tape and there is always the option of a full face mask or even an oral one. I forgot to mention the DIY mouthpeice that some also use.

Do a search on "mouth breathing", "taping", "DIY" and "chinstraps" to get more information. Good luck.

Hi francois,

Good suggestions from Mike Moran about words to search for using the Search button at upper left.

Most of the time I use tape to prevent my mouth air leaks. Sometimes I use a DIY (Do It Yourself) homemade mouth guard.

Good luck!
