CPAP-Reviews

Maybe. I can definitely say that I’ve experienced more frequent hiccups in the morning following routine CPAP treatment.

I was on vacation in Hawaii and didn’t use my Remstar M Series CPAP machine for 10 days. My snoring seems a little lighter there, maybe it’s due to the higher humidity. I used a regular mouthguard (as opposed to a CPAP mouth piece that is specifically designed to prevent snoring) which was actually effective in stopping my snoring on this trip. Upon returning to the mainland I immediately went back to CPAP and the next morning got the hiccups. It doesn’t happen all the time, however it does seem to happen more often in the morning right after a night of CPAP therapy.

I definitely wouldn’t recommend replacing conventional CPAP therapy with a regular mouth guard without checking with a doctor or sleep specialist. I still feel more rested after a night with the CPAP machine versus the mouth guard given the same duration of sleep.

I just started using Dr. Bronner’s Castile Hemp soap for everything including cleaning my CPAP equipment.

I’ve got to say this is the best soap that I have ever used because it seems like even my eczema has improved since I started using it. Previously I’ve used Dove bar soap (for that 1/4 moisturizing cream of course) since one of my doctors over at Kaiser Permanente recommended it many years ago.

It turns out this soap can be used daily to clean CPAP masks and CPAP equipment like the tubing because it doesn’t leave any soap residue behind which makes a bad seal and results in annoying air leaks. There is really no need to buy any special CPAP wipes or CPAP equipment cleaner. Just a couple drops of Dr. Bronner’s soap and some warm water works great for daily cleaning.
