I have a problem with dry mouth. It's so bad that I wake up 4 or 5 times a night.

I had been but it didn't make a difference. I am on bipap and have the moisture as high as it will go.@rainbowgerl

@Ginny65 oh the pressure might be too high. I am on a bipap also.
I would talk to your doctor.
It also might be a medication if you take meds

Is there a way to set my Cpap to automatically come on when i put my mask on? Years ago when I first was diagnosed, I had the older type cpap and it would come on when it sensed my breathing into the mask. This newer one doesn't do that. I have to turn it on myself, to work.

Anyone else experiencing burping during the time of using your cpap? I wonder how this can be avoided, if at all?

@hulseymx I also had problems with my mask being so tight that it left marks on my face that didn't go away till lunch. I found on amazon that I could buy pads that covered the straps. These pads made the mask more comfortable and eliminated the marks on my cheeks.
