When using a nasal cpap machine, my mouth fills up with air ?

I just started on the nasal mask. My pressure is so high that it blew off the masks in the full face mask. I've been taping my mouth shut for a week or so. Today, I got the chin guard from our medical supply company. I took a nap and it worked great. I just used any surgical tape from the pharmacy. Although, they do have special tape designed for sleep apnea. Good Luck!

It is an Airfit Nasal mask. It goes right under the nose. I think that the Airfit F20 goes around the nose. I'm not sure how well it works so maybe someone will let us know. When I did the tape, I covered the entire mouth and no air came out and it was quite comfortable. I just used what I had on hand. The problem with the tape verses the chin guard, is that you can't speak. However, one night I pulled the tape off about 5 times to speak to my husband and it resealed up fine again.
