Re: Severe aerophagia

So I finally got around to downloading SleepyHead. It shows that I went from an AHI of over 13 on Friday night with my pressure set at 10/10 to an AHI of 2.4 with the reduction on the exhale to 7 on Saturday night. I think I must just be gagging and gasping like crazy with the higher pressure on my ...

Re: First Full Night of Sleep!

I finally went to sleep at a decent hour with my mask on (10:30 pm-ish), and woke up about an hour ago at 6 am with the mask still on my face! I do not feel tired or groggy at all, which is crazy since I have NEVER been a morning person. I have been using my machine for about 1 week. Hopefully I to...

Re: Severe aerophagia

I don't see how lowering the exhale pressure will make much of a difference. It's on inhale when most of the pressure leaks into the stomach. What I have found (in my short amount of time) is that while I have had the machine going whilst awake is that it is difficult for me to exhale. I sort of fe...

Re: Severe aerophagia

Thank you, pugsy for the links to the software. I have planned on getting something but haven't gotten around to it yet. Will do that now.

As I am a newbie myself I can't answer your questions but others will. Just go to the top of the home page and click on "Post a New Topic" and start your thread....

Two nights ago I started using a Resmed Elite with a Pilairo nasal pillow. I have only been able to use for around two-three hours per night due to extreme aerophagia. (This...
