EPR Does it have a real effect?

Post by mon » Fri Aug 22, 2014 1:43 am

I have EPR on my ResMed machine. What is the benefit and is it worth trying?

Comfort is the biggest benefit. It may reduce aerophagia (gas). For a small number of people, it may make AHI better or worse.

Try it and see what works for you.
