Re: Dental Bone graft top front teeth shifting due to N20 - options?

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

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 ...

Re: Months on CPAP and still struggling with aerophagia issues

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...

Getting stuck with UARS settings!

... 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 ...

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.

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.
