Post First Night with CPAP Machine Question, Please 
Hi, I spend my fist night. The mask is just over my nose.

However, when I woke in the morning after finally sleeping a few hours, I seemd to have air "Bottled up" and coming out of my mouth.  For a few minutes air came out of my mouth.

Any ideas or suggestions.
Thanks,

Welcome!

Well it is not uncommon and it is called aerophagia.  In the first few weeks of therapy some people notice this.  In my case I had this and it was extremely painful.  You can try gas-x to help relieve it.  Moving around really seems to do the most tho.  The good news is that it goes away for most people after a week or two on therapy.
