You didn't tell us what machine you were using or what your pressures were. That can have a big effect on your conditions.Sleepless in Canada wrote:Wow looks like things got a little heated. I just want to know how to cure my gas and bloating. From what i am reading if I use CPAP I will get gastric insufflation and if I do not use CPAP I wont get it. That makes my decsion easy i will look into an oral device I have been told my sleep apena is mild so it seems logical. Old Lincon if you have any insight on what i should do let me know it sounds like you know more then this "doctor". Thanks
Sometimes it means using an APAP with a little lower pressure (range) and sometimes turning on or off (or selecting different settings of) EPR or C-Flex can help.....or using straight pressure. In some cases, switching to a Bi-Level/Bi-PAP machine will usually help. Lots of variables when dealing with those conditions.
Giving up CPAP should not be a first option.
