Do you tape your mouth?

At night? I keep waking up with really intense headaches presumably because I breathe through my mouth in the night.

Thinking of taping my mouth but also don’t want to d*e

Erm, don't do that. What kind of headaches? Do you try and go back to sleep, or get up and want to bounce your head off a wall?

Both? In the mornings I want to bounce my head off a wall. But in the night I drink some water and try and sleep. I don’t really get headaches so I can’t compare it to any other headaches I get

My son does. He is 17. Apparently it helps with jaw definition 🤣🤣🤣

I have been known to have apnea episodes and with my teeth grinding and at my age, I definitely don’t want to die so I won’t!

I first saw it on a TikTok trend and apparently lots of people do it.

But yeah I have had teeth grinding before. Not anymore though fortunately

Does it stop fairly suddenly, and always hit in the same place (behind the eye)

We have a squeaky duck ball gag you could try?

Means you can still breathe but you'll know if you're grinding your teeth because it'll sound like there's a small dog savaging a squeaky dog toy in the room when you do. 🤷‍♂️

Noooooo. What if you need to cough or sneeze.

Get a mouth guard or something.

I'm getting anxiety just thinking about sleeping like that

Well if you don't wake up you won't have a headache. Objective achieved.

I had a severe headache for 5 days last week, to the point where it hurt when I opened my eyes. Try a few drops of lavender oil on your pillow when you go to bed, it worked wonders for me.

Im no medical professional but I don't think breathing through your mouth would cause a headache, it's just breathing.

More likely headaches due to dehydration, nocturnal bruxism or cervicogenic origin. You don’t get headaches from breathing through your mouth.

Oh good shout. I have a harmonica one, the sudden silence would alert anyone to an apnoea episode

It sounds like you have some variety of sleep apnoea. My late wife used to sleep with a breathing mask on to help with that. You might consider asking for a referral to a sleep clinic, so they can determine if there's an issue, and suggest a solution.

Don't start taping your mouth up or applying other hearsay remedies; get a professional assessment.

I keep my mouth shut as i allegedly snore (complete fabrication obviously) but I don’t use tape or anything just change my sleep position, I would see a doctor pal as it might be sleep apnea or something, I would worry it might be lack of oxygen to the brain.

What about a Velcro hair thing when you are having a spa - you could wrap it the opposite way instead - it'll be nice and soft and still some movement possible

I have heard a lot of good things about mouth taping. I am going to give it a try myself to see if it calms my snoring.

I've always breathed through my mouth, throughout life. I have perennial sinus issues and nasal polyps. The downside is that my 'inspiration' isn't filtered/warmed/moistened as it would be when breathing through my nose, which can cause occasional chest clearing.

Teeth grinding can give you headache.

Try using a mouth guard to see if it help relieve the symptoms

Definitely don't tape your mouth

Who in his right mind would do that? It’s completely pointless.

I’ll give you some shocking news: Tik Tok trends ARE NOT good medical advice.

Anybody that sees a Tik Tok trend that seals off an orifice that provides life sustaining oxygen and thinks is a good idea is a fucking moron.

Stop being such a bloke and go and see a doctor FFS

And stay off Tik Tok - it’s full of dickheads and narcissists who’ll say anything for engagement.

I only came here to suggest a ball gag instead of tape.

The online info is based on a very good book called Breath by James Nestor.

I'd recommend it OP.

Maybe try buying a humidifier for your room instead to help with dehydration? I have one that I use when I have a cold and can't breathe through my nose. It really eases breathing, helps sleep and I wake up not feeling headachey and groggy. They're like £40 or so I got mine in argos. You just have to make sure you clean it regularly and use boiled/filtered water.

I do not. Can't think of much worse.

Think you'd end up with nightmares that you were being k1dnapped even if it resolved the headache.

I have no idea if tape over the mouth at night will help the OP’s headaches but there are a few people who could do this during the day and it would certainly stop me getting a headache

Headaches can be an indicator of many conditions, but could be perfectly innocent and simply suggest you need to make some environmental changes.

Easy things to try - make sure you're fully hydrated overnight, is your room too hot? too cold? do you sleep with a window open to get fresh air? is there too much air in your room and causing a draft? Try changing your sleeping position - the headache could be referred pain from your neck - or maybe a new pillow is needed, with more or less support.

Hopefully one of those factors will fix the problem easily, but if not, or if the problem has been persistent over an extended period, I'd recommend a chat with a GP.

What makes you think it's to do with breathing through your mouth? It's still the same air you're breathing.
