CPAP Cry Mouth

CPAP Dry Mouth Remedies

Continuous positive airway pressure or CPAP therapy is a common treatment for people who suffer from sleep apnea. Without it, those that suffer from this serious sleep disorder will stop breathing at night as they sleep (sometimes hundreds of times), which can cause serious health issues and even death.

Therefore, the benefits of CPAP are clear. However, one of the nuisances of this therapy is dry mouth.

How a CPAP works, why it causes dry mouth

CPAP machines continuously push air into your mouth and nose through a face mask or mouthpiece. This non-stop flow of air can cause a person to experience dry mouth.

Especially, if they sleep with their mouth open.

How can you prevent CPAP dry mouth?

There are things you can do to prevent or get relief from dry mouth if you use a CPAP:

  • Fix Equipment Issues
    A leaky or poor fitting mask can mess with the flow of air getting into your mouth and lungs which can lead to losing moisture in your mouth and throat. Be sure to pick a mask that fits the shape of your face and prevents losing airflow.
  • Use Additional Equipment
    Keeping your mouth closed while breathing will keep extra moisture in. If this is a problem, consider using a chin strap or nasal pillow for aid.
  • Stay Hydrated
    Drinking water as soon as you get up and throughout the day will replenish your fluids and reduce the risk of dehydration that can be caused by the CPAP machine.
