True. But it will stop my severe aerophagia from mouth breathing.

My bed is adjustable and I had the head raised to about 30 degrees. I will crank it up more.

Thanks for your response

... “no cpap” guidance. So last night i used mouth tape and no cpap. I can breath through my nose fine but am a big mouth breather and suffer a lot of aerophagia w/out tape. But according to the iPhone app ‘Sleep Cycle’ which records skeep sounds and records sleep talking, snoring, etc. I had 70 nasal ...

Hey everyone, I have been using CPAP for 4 months now with AHI < 1 for most nights, trying different pressure ranges (above 11-12 I get aerophagia) and EPR settings (0-3) but still tired af and brain fog during the day. I was suspecting UARS and after much effort I convinced my doctor to try ...

I have been doing Myofunctional therapy for my tongue posture, jaw strength, and lip seal. It has already helped after only 1 week. I am doing exercises every day. I have also been doing the Einstein Method, which is gradual tongue strengthening over a 4-month period. Anyone find that tongue exercis...

... what's next? I've visibly seen my higher IPAP smooth out my waveform but for the life of me I'm already up to 14 and it's starting to get funky, aerophagia and obvious CA's from the large pressure support (though I've hesitant to raise EPAP up as it seems to cover all my OA's and I struggle exhaling ...

... of supplies and the DME is in contact. Can you take a look at my latest OSCAR report and suggest if I keep on keepin on or make adjustments. Aerophagia is pretty extreme. https://imgur.com/a/QI5YsBN https://imgur.com/a/QI5YsBN

... if I reduce PS too much then the uncomfortable aerophagia kicks back in?

Are you asking me or telling me?

Not enough info, but IMO-WAG anything relating to xPAP is fine, it's your sleep that's AFU.

Post any available sleep studies you have.

... PS of 4.4) but my AHI went back up to 6.43. Clear airways seem like they are dominating, however if I reduce PS too much then the uncomfortable aerophagia kicks back in? At the very least I got 7+ hours of sleep last night.

... also been difficult for me to sleep a full night uninterrupted for months now (I probably should have posted earlier). I have been dealing with aerophagia and although I use a chinstrap and mouth tape I keep burping which may be causing the leaks shown in my chart. I do try using a wedge pillow ...

... possible. My charts all look relatively "the same". I did go back to my near 8-12 range in the hopes it would help - it did not. I still get aerophagia above 12. I really don't know what to do. I'm going to try the ambien when I don't have a workday in front of me - not long term, we're just ...

... than other masks. I think also, just my poor sleep in general causes a lot of tossing and turning and mask adjustment. 2 - I hadn't heard of Aerophagia but googling I don't think it's the issue here, my gastro issues run in my family and predate cpap treatment. Insomnia could well be initially ...

... various foods - primarily gluten and dairy. Are you being treated by a doctor for any of the gastro issues? And have you ever had problems with aerophagia while using your CPAP? Aerophagia was a huge issue for me and the Aerophagia Monster and the Insomnia Monster tag teamed me to thoroughly ...

... You also write about your current settings: [*]EPAP above ~6 cm (especially with PS > 6 cm and a very-high trigger setting) seems to bring on aerophagia.[/list] If EPAP above 6 cm can trigger the aerophagia, why is your min EPAP = 7 ? Aerophagia (my old nemesis) can trigger a lot of SWJ restlessness ...

... fluid retention in my nose and some level of overall facial puffiness. In general I find that using PS 3-7 is comfortable. I am sensitive to aerophagia if I push any of PS, EPR, IPR too high. There are other more private effects on my health but suffice to say that I don't just feel crappy ...

... sure how clinically meaningful these CA events are. EPAP above ~6 cm (especially with PS > 6 cm and a very-high trigger setting) seems to bring on aerophagia. I’m still waking up groggy, with puffy nasal tissues and mild congestion. What I’d love your help with: Interpreting the flow-rate shape ...
