Air Being Forced Out of Mouth - eshavens - 06-15-2023

Hello All! 

I've been using the ResMed Air Sense 11 with nasal pillows for about a month with no issues, and all of a sudden (the last 3 nights) puffs of air are being forced out of my mouth when I'm just about to fall asleep. I don't know if this is due to too much pressure, not enough pressure, or something else, but it's preventing me from falling asleep.

Thanks so much for your help!

Hello Gideon,

Here is the current information from the CPAP mobile app.

Thank you,

Is your mouth opening as you fall asleep?   If so, maybe try mouth tape or a strap?

Yes I believe that is part of the problem.  We're going to try using a full-face mask and eliminate that as a factor.
