Not as such, but occasionally someone will have what's called aerophagia (the forum search engine will find info on it). It would help a lot if you could be more specific - 'problems' could mean anything.

if you are using full-face mask and your pressures are too high, you could be swallowing air causing stomach discomfort. I had this problem and sleep dr reduced max pressure.
