They don't push oxygen. What a CPAP does is push air (humidified air) into your nose. If you have obstructive apnea like most folks, this action prevents the muscles that over-relax from over-relaxing and obstructing the airways.

Do you wake up with dry mouth?

It is moist air but I will wake up 2 x and have a water container with a straw on the night stand. It isn't "dry" mouth per se though.
I've had a glass of water on my night stand for years though. The CPap probably isn't the root cause. |

I took the water tank off of my machine and replaced it with a cap. Mostly because I am lazy and I'm not going to rely on myself to always have distilled water at hand. They didn't even give me the machine with a water reservoir until fairly recently. Having gone so many years without it, I figured there's no need to complicate things. |

A lot of this depends on the humidity in the room. If super dry then the humidifier on the machine will run out quickly and then you will start drying out.
This is what I have noticed after two nights of use so far. I just got a room humidifier that I will run tonight to see if it helps any. |

Thinking I will pick this up for camping. Anyone have any experience with running off battery?

Yes, the humidity in the room/house affects the water level a bunch. Summer vs winter is big.

Just got a call from my pulmonologist - I have severe restrictive sleep apnea.
Looks like I'm joining Club CPap

Worst part by far is the cost.
