I have a nasal pillow and my husband thinks I should possibly use a different mask? He has a full face mask over his nose only. Never has experienced teeth clenching or headache.
Any advice appreciated!
Thanks!

Teeth Clenching Headache with new machine
Hello everyone, I'm new to this and new to having apnea. I have had my Dream Station Auto CPAP for about 3 weeks now. I had been grinding my teeth at night and found I had severe apnea. The first week or so of the machine I have slept so well, the doc looked at the software and said I have no more apnea and am sleeping great. But this last week I have had a bad headache and really it is under the back of my skull above my neck mostly. Excruciating. Upon waking up I find I'm tightly clenching my teeth and when I release it sends this horrible pain. I have had it about 4 times this week. I feel rested but this headache!

RE: Teeth Clenching Headache with new machine
You might want to try one of those over-the-counter mouth guards at the drugstore; the kind you boil to soften for fitting to your teeth. Might not stop the clenching but should protect your teeth.

Torter, the #Sleephead software is free. Download and see more details on your therapy, and consider posting a chart. The instructions for organizing and posting are in my signature. Without that information, we are just guessing.
