[CPAP] Trouble with central apneas and weird symptoms

RE: Trouble with central apneas and weird symptoms
Tape will only seal your lips from leaks.
INFORMATION ON APNEA BOARD FORUMS OR ON APNEABOARD.COM SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED MEDICAL ADVICE. ALWAYS SEEK THE ADVICE OF A PHYSICIAN BEFORE SEEKING TREATMENT FOR MEDICAL CONDITIONS, INCLUDING SLEEP APNEA. INFORMATION POSTED ON THE APNEA BOARD WEBSITE AND FORUMS ARE PERSONAL OPINION ONLY AND NOT NECESSARILY A STATEMENT OF FACT.

Deb is a pro with mouth tape. She is a great resource if you are pondering using it.

I personally use a soft cervical collar (Caldera Releaf specifically) which uses the weight of the head to help keep ones mouths closed. Not for all, but when properly sized it works a charm for me.

Practice proper tongue placement until it becomes second nature. It took me about 3 months to get comfortable with it, but your mileage may vary…

RE: Trouble with central apneas and weird symptoms
It depends on the person.  A neck collar does not stop mouth leaking for me, and I tried the tongue placement thing, but could never get it to work either.  For some of us, tape is the only thing that works.  I wish it were otherwise.  Rolleyes
