Drooling With A Full Face Mask While Sleeeping.
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

I wear a full face mask while sleeping for my sleep apnea. Also have 24/7 oxygen for COPD. I seem to drool while sleeping while sleeping. Anyone else, and how did you solve it? I’m breaking out when it runs down my chin. Help

@A MyCOPDTeam Member, luckily my pharmacy had the ayr spray. I had to order the gel online. I haven’t tried that on my mouth, but I don’t have a fryness problem, I have a wetness problem! Lol

I buy nearly everything at Amazon , but I think this came from the hospital .

I use Ayr gel on my mouth and nose to keep my mouth moist. Also , having my distilled water going into my oxygen keeps my mouth and throat from being extremely dry .

I don't have an answer because I do it , too . I wash my face immediately upon rising to ease the irritation .

@A MyCOPDTeam Member, in wish I could just wear a nosepiece but I’m can’t sleep because I’m constantly thinking about just breathing through my nose. Mouth breathers don’t seem to get enough
Oxygen that way. I will try your suggestions! Have a happy New Year! Breath onward!
