Pugsy, Thanks for all your help. I think I am in good shape now and will keep my ongoing settings at High 7 and Low 5. The 4" Soft cervical collar works best for me for comfort. (I tried 3 and 4 inch - soft and firm). So the reduction in aerophagia is good now at 7.0 and the collar has been the grea...

Thank you Pugsy.
I do not know where to look for "Central" apneas.
Is that "Unclassified" apneas?

Can anyone help answer any of my questions or make a suggestion for my last posting?
Thanks

The lower my pressure setting….. the lower my AHI goes, strange? I have battled with aerophagia/gas for a long time with high pressure set between 10 and 13. Thanks to Pugsy, Miss Emerita and Chicago Granny, I now wear a cervical collar either 3” soft or 4” firm. The collars definitely corrected my ...

Thanks - Chicago Granny.
Next time at the pharmacy I will get one and try it out.

I "just thought" adjusting tight would limit chin tucking the best.
It is not uncomfortably tight.
Collar is Soft, Size - Universal, Height 3.25" and Thickness -1.25"
Thanks

Hello Again, I have been monitoring my CPAP settings / numbers for 3 weeks. I was loaded with gas / aerophagia / constipation as a mouth breather/ air swallower with the High setting in double digits. As I have lowered the high pressure settings, the AHI, on average, continued to improve down to a s...

Thank you Pugsy!
Will do.

Hello, (Pugsy if you are available?) I have been testing a couple weeks now with different pressure settings and have really gotten gassed up with the high pressure set in double digits. I am now trying to avoid so much gas, bloating, constipation and probably dehydration. My current thinking is to ...

Thank you for your continued help and guidance Pugsy. I thought you would frown at an AHI over 2.0. I accept my leak rate because the F30i is the best mask I have ever used with respect to leaks with only the mouth covered combined with under the nose nasal style. No side leaks is great since the F3...

AHI still good with pressures lowered to: L-7, H-12 Gas/Aerophagia better than at higher settings of low at 8 and high at 13 or 15 but gas still there for hours and annoying. Any suggestions on whether to stay as is for a while and see if aerophagia lessens by itself? Or should I continue lowering f...

Thanks Pugsy - I will do 7 and 12.

Last night - Best AHI so far since starting the "magical" cervical collar on Tuesday. Still too much gas/aerophalgia with high setting at 13. But less gas than the night before when set at 15. I will always use the soft cervical collar and flattened pillow. Pressure Monday: Low 8 - High 15 - AHI was...

The gas/aerophalgia is something that in the past has built up more and more day after day. I don't feel good (but glad the AHI is lowered considerably) but gas mostly dissapates after a couple hours. For the few months that you did not hear from me I had been set on Low 5 or 6 and High 8 or 9 and I...

Hello,
2nd night in a row with soft cervical collar and flat pillow. AHI -Tues. 2.8, Wed. 2.3 But too much aerophalgia.
Setting was at High 15 and Low 10. Tonight plan to set High 13 and Low 8 and see if less gas and the affect on AHI.
