Dang, forgot to log-in again.

I will try it without the C-Flex and see how that works.

My doctor is on a leave until the end of May. The
nurse said I'd have to wait.

I'm sorry, the pressure is set on 9 and the ramp on 4.

This is so frustrating. I think the C-Flex set on 3 helped a little but not enough. I can't even get to sleep because the aerophagia starts within 5-10 minutes. I also have problems with my ears plugging-up... and my mouth fills up with air at times, I feel like a chipmunk. _________________ CPAPope...

Wistful, I can feel your pain. I have an air leak
in my right eye/duct. Have constant conjunctivitis
and dry eye problems. Good Luck to you. The
people here are so wonderful and helpful.

Thank You so much Linda. I think I'll leave the
pressure alone for now. It's set at 4/9

Thank You so much... Great explanation. I will try this. I really think
the pressure is ok so will just try thr C-flex adjustment.

I do have GERDs and esophagus problems. This may be another

Appreciate your time and suggestions.

Thanks! You'll have to excuse my stupidness (is that a word? )
but will turning it off make it easier to exhale?

I will check out my directions and change the C-flex. What will going without it do/change? I don't completely understand the C-Flex yet. I don't think I can lower the pressure but I will check and see. I have bought the machine. I actually bought it two years ago. I tried using it a didn't succeed....

Well... I called a resp. therapist which was no help at all. Didn't know a lot about the C-flex. She said I may have to go through another sleep study to see if I need one of those other types of machines. I am suppose to contact my doctor. My doctor is on a 2 month leave of absence. *sigh* I really...

Thank You Brackstone. I think I will call my
support and check into it.

Hi Caffy, What you are experiencing is called "Aerophagia" it's when the body ingests the air and swallows it. I suffered from it and I had the exact same machine as you. My problem was it took a lot of effort to exhale, so I ended up taking much shorter breaths and sometimes swallowing air. I also...

Hi I am new here. I'm a newish CPAP user still trying to sleep with it on. I am having trouble with slot of air in my stomach and the gas from it. Have any of you experienced this? I also can't fall asleep with it on. I literally lay for 4-5 hours before I finally take it off. Thanks for any help.
