CPAP is causing dry mouth, dry throat, runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing

A CPAP humidifier or temperature adjustment may usually resolve all of the above issues. Start with the lowest heat setting and turn up as needed for more moisture. Biotene spray or oral rinse products may help with dry mouth. Chronic nasal lining dryness may be helped with Ocean or other simple saline spray solutions. Both are available over the counter at your pharmacy. Consult with your physician if the problem persists.
