Guest guest Posted July 13, 2001 Report Share Posted July 13, 2001 , I'm going to jump in hear. I have this problem a lot. I went to a larger humidifier on my bi-pap and for the most part is has stopped. What might also be happening is that you are opening your mouth during the night. This will dry you out quickly. To resolve this, try using a chin strap. Also have the face mask checked to see if it fits properly if it is leaking any where it will let the moisture out and will irritate your eyes. Hope this helps. R. The Support Report http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheSupportReport I have a question for you. My c pap machine is driving me nuts now. My> mouth is so dry that my tongue is literally stuck to the roof of my mouth.I> end up pulling the mask off so I can sleep, but then I can't sleep becauseof> the apnea. Do you ever have this problem??? Just wondering. I do have a> humidifier on my machine and I do use nasal spray and eye drops.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 , thanks for the info. I am going to call the RP next week. I know it leaks sometimes and that is really frustrating. Glad to see I wasn't crazy after all... I will check into this ASAP... I can feel the difference not wearing it. I though maybe the pressure was too high they just upped it to 13. hugs > , > I'm going to jump in hear. > I have this problem a lot.
