New to CPAP-Problem - Sleep Disorders Message Board

Hi,

I hope someone can help me answer this question. I have been using the CPAP for 4 nights now and the last 2 it feels as if something in the upper part of my mouth in the back is preventing the air from coming from my nose down my throat. So, almost all the air is staying in the nasal mask. Anyone else have this problem or know a solution or what it is??? I'm not sure who to talk to....sleep disorder clinic, respritory therapist from the DME, ENT I see that sent me to sleep disorder clinic or my primary dr. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

My husband has a CPAP and it seems that the most knowledgeable person is the technician at the sleep disorders clinic. We haven't gotten much information on the mechanics of it from either the DME dispenser or the doctor. So you might try there first.
