Re: Aerophagia tug of war

A silly question, but have you tried sleeping on your side with a big fat (body length if possible) pillow anchored behind you to prevent you from rolling onto your back? (If you push it out of the way, putting it under a sheet that you're on top of might help.) Or sleeping with your back against t...

Re: Aerophagia tug of war

Well, thanks again for taking the time to give such a thoughtful response. I don't know how you have enough free time to help us all out so much. I really appreciate it. After reading your take on the issue I decided to try out a pressure bump. The aerophagia has been popping up less and less freque...

Re: Aerophagia tug of war

Solracotos, thanks for sharing that. It's good to hear you've had success with the mask switch. I may give a nasal cushion a try next time insurance lets me order a new mask. Pugsy, thanks as always. It is possible I was on my back at that time. Though I fall asleep on my side, I tend to wake up on ...

Re: Aerophagia tug of war

Though it's only been one night on these new settings, I thought I'd share the results. The change: Fixed CPAP of 6 changed to Auto APAP of 4-8 with EPR 3. How I feel: Very little aerophagia bloating this morning. Some nights are better than others, but I think it's very possible these settings allo...

Re: Aerophagia tug of war

nicholasjh1, your reply came in just as I was responding to Pugsy and zonker. I really appreciate you chiming in. What an unexpected aerophagia curve. It's good to know higher pressure actually can work for someone who experiences the bloating. Makes me less intimidated to experiment with the pressu...

Re: Aerophagia tug of war

Pugsy, zonker, I don't know what to say. Your thoughtful, extensive responses are so generous. Thank you. For a few months now I've been feeling helpless. This has got me feeling hopeful. Regarding the adjustments you both have proposed, I do feel comfortable making them myself. In fact, I already h...

Re: Aerophagia tug of war

This is already fascinating. Thanks so much for the response. I wish I would have done a bit more "Before Your First Post ..." research. Sorry to make you explain the SleepyHead process. Fascinating, though! Here's a formatted view of my report for last night. Really appreciate you taking the time t...

Aerophagia tug of war

Hi everyone, This is my first time posting on the forum after being a lurker for a while. The forum has already been so helpful. I'm hoping you all might be able to weigh in on the problem I've been grappling with since I started CPAP a year ago. Thanks for reading. Equipment Machine: ResMed AirSens...
