Are you a CPAP user who is constantly waking up with a dry mouth? This issue is extremely common and The Insomnia and Sleep Institute of Arizona has tips for you to tackle this issue so you can wake up feeling ready to take on the day. Check out their post below!👇Tired of waking up with a desert in your mouth? CPAP users, we’ve got solutions!
Experiencing dry mouth and throat while using CPAP is more common than you think, but it’s not something you have to live with.
Here’s how to tackle it:
Hydrate smart: Sip water before bed, but avoid sugary drinks.
Humidify your air: Add a CPAP humidifier to keep the air moist.
Adjust mask fit: A leaky mask might be drying you out—ensure a snug fit.
Consider a nasal mask: If you’re breathing through your mouth, this switch could help.
Mouth tape: Sounds odd, but keeping your mouth closed can make a world of difference.

Should I go to the Emergency Room, Urgent Care, or See My Primary Care Provider? - AZ Care Network

Once upon a time, you just saw your doctor for everything. Now, you have too many choices. Years ago, my son fell and broke his arm. Our doctor told us to go to the nearest emergency room. After we got there, we were yelled at because the hospital was not in our provider's network. It was the nearest hospital. The one under our insurance was further away. We just can't pick any emergency room or even urgent care.
