What type of mask do you wear, full face, nasal, pillows? You may be swallowing air if you have a mask which covers your mouth. You might try (unless you have alllergies) taking beano or simethecone at night before sleeping. Simethecone can be found in many antacids or by itself, it helps reduce gas in stomach.
