I have a continuing problem of lots of saliva accumulating under my nasal pillows and around my neck during the night. I have to sleep with a towel under my neck. I sleep well. Anyone else have this weird thing?
No, I use the P10 nasal pillow mask and do not have that problem. However, I also tape my mouth shut so I do not lose air out my mouth. You may want to look into mouth taping.
You might want to try a chin strap to keep the mouth shut. My CPAP supplier will send it, you might need a prescription for insurance to cover it.
Every once and a while I have a problem with dry open mouth so I will use the chin strap. I have a beard as well. With the beard, the mask and the chin strap there is a lot on your face and it might take a little getting used to.
