W HAT IF I STILL HAVE SYMPTOMS OF DRYNESS ?
If you still experience symptoms of dryness, then your humidity setting may be set too
low to be effective. Gradually turn the humidity control dial up over a few nights until
the symptoms disappear.
If you are still experiencing symptoms of dryness, even after increasing the humidity
setting, you may be breathing through your mouth. Mouth breathing or mouth leaks
cause drying and irritation of the upper airway. If this is a problem, a full face mask or
chin strap may help. Consult your clinician or equipment supplier for details.
