Hello,
Sore and hoarse throat is a common problem related to using CPAP while asleep. Using a chin strap with nasal mask will help keep the mouth closed while asleep. Try the full mask covering the nose and mouth and see the difference.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
