Dry mouth and nasal congestion are common CPAP side effects with easy solutions. For dry mouth: Use a heated humidifier with your CPAP to add moisture to the air. If you breathe through your mouth, try a full face mask or a chinstrap. For nasal congestion: Increase humidity levels, use a heated tube to prevent condensation, or try nasal saline spray before bed. Persistent congestion may require a full face mask. Adjusting your room temperature and humidity can also help.
Combat dry mouth and congestion by using heated humidification, adjusting humidity levels, and choosing the right mask type.
