Sleep apnea anyone?

I have been using a CPAP for sleep apnea for about a month. About a week ago, I started drooling onto my pilliow and my mouth has crusted from it. What can cause this and what can I do to stop it?
I have the flexifit 405 nasal mask.
Any help would be most apperciated Thank you

    Contact the doctor that prescribed the c.p.a.p. The pressure may be too great. Or the airway may be obstructed somewhat. Keep the device clean. Read the manual concerning cleaning and follow it. The hoses and mask and membrane have to be cleaned regularly. I flush the items with vinegar to dissolve precipitated water minerals, and to kill bacteria. Flush it, with water, thoroughly after using vinegar. Make sure you drink water before you go to sleep. Also use distilled water not tap water. (deionized water is probably just as good and I have used bottled spring water in a pinch).
    If I did not have a c.p.a.p. I would have died two years ago. It saved my life.
    Good luck,
    Dan.

    You're breathing through your mouth not your nose while sleeping. Sounds like your nasal passage is being blocked at night which would cause you to breath through your mouth. Just like when you have a cold.

    You need to talk to your doctor and tell him/her about the drooling. Your doctor should be able to figure out why you're breathing through your mouth. See your doctor as soon as you can, the CPAP machine is of no use if you're not breathing through your nose.

    try decreasing the oxygen level when using the cpap, it might be set on high and this can cause dry lips. use a lip mosturizer whenever you put on your cpap

    I am sorry to here that you have sleep apnea . I my self do not have it . But I have many friends that do it is automatic reaction having the machine on your noes you subconscious thinks you noes is plugged . you can use a light tap to train you mouth to stay closed till is becomes a trained not to open up for its just responding to a foreign item right now . if you do not wish to use that then use a plastic liner on your pillow till you get use to it . but it is not a nice feeling to sleep on plastic now that it is hot . so the way would be to find a nice tap that is not going to rip you face of taking it off till you learn to breath through you nose . pay attention in the day do you breath through you mouth or nose in the day if you breath through your mouth then try to be conscious of it and force your self to use you noes at all times to breath. that is the things that my friends have told me . I hope all is well with you bless you

    Did you try calling the people that sold you the machine, or the people that tested you? My husband has CPAP also but he hasn't experienced this kind of problem. Only thought is call the people that tested you.
