First Time With a lot of air in stomach?

Post by sdeters6990 » Wed Oct 30, 2019 6:12 am

I woke up twice last night belching a lot of air, yes very terrible with having a F30 full face mask.
Is there a link to suggestions on how to keep this from happening, I am sure my coworkers will not be happy with me this morning. (HA)

THanks

See the page above.

What are your settings? First thing to try is if you aren't using EPR exhale relief....turn it on and use it.

I am still getting a lot of air in my stomach, Feel like a Macy thanksgiving day balloon when I wake up. What are some other options I can do or look into doing to eliminate this problem. Thanks I will start running SD card and post some Oscar Screen shots when I get this again. Thanks again for the help.

For My Settings the I have an AUto pressure machine, The Valve that was mentioned was turned on. The pressures on my machine go from 5-20. Thanks

Please post the screenshot in this thread so your history is easily seen. Once you have a screenshot of one night, post it. Something may be obvious right away.

That's worthless advice. What will he do? Lower his minimum to 4 from 5? Lower his maximum to what from 20?

Let's see a screenshot of what has actually been happening.

Maybe you'll find the suggestion of using the exhalation relief feature will be enough to help your belly air issues. If not, your machine data could disclose how much leeway you have in adjusting your settings while retaining effective treatment. Doing it with knowledge will get you to a better place quicker than guessing games. You might find it helpful to experiment with sleep position to see if some positions are better than others. For instance, if I'm side sleeping, rolling my shoulder over to compress the chest seems to help. Once I pull my shoulder back and expand the chest, the air in the belly gets worse. Good luck finding what works for you.

I posted some images, I took my mask off in the middle of the night, tummy full of air, then I put it back on once I knew it was off. Any Help or suggestions would be great. If I can get help with the air in the belly taken care of, This thing works great. Thanks for all the help so far.

Please organize your chart like this:
Event Flags
Flow Rate
Pressure
Leak Rate
Flow Limit (Only for Resmed machines, not on Respironics)

We normally don't need or want to see additional graph lines, because they end up scrunching up the charts we do want to see.

BTW, do you just have a belching problem, or do you also need to fart out a lot of air?

I wake up belching. Usually I belch, and then have major air issues in the morning. During the night I do belch, if I have acid reflux it gets really bad. I take Nexium for Acid reflux.
Thanks for the help once again.

Do you have the head of your bed on 3.5-4.0-inch bed risers? https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/ ... =typeahead

They are a lot of help for some people. Experience will vary by individual.
