A-flex or C-flex help with aerophagia?

[SleepingUgly]

Would A-flex/C-flex help with aerophagia? If so, which is preferable? Still not sure why my doctor had said to use it, and now she's goooooone...

Why not try them both (one at a time)... and see for yourself?

I'm suggesting that because some people react to things differently than others... so try it out for yourself and see which is better for you.

If you do try either or and find out for yourself, please let me know. I would be quite interested. I'm using just C-flex right now as that is just what my machine has (as far as I know) and I'm fighting aerophagia horribly so any input would be great!

Thanks and great question. . . hope more people jump in with advice on this one.

I tried C-flex+ last night and had a good night with aerophagia; however, I've had decent nights with that even without C-flex, so I need a few more days to be more sure that it's causal.

By the way, I'm not sure about this, but it seems unlikely that you HAVE to use C-flex on your machine. Are you sure it's actually on and not just available for use? I had an M Series briefly, and I think you can disable C-flex. Yours might be disabled.

I have issues with aerophagia. I personally found that cflex causes more issues for me. The alteration of the pressure with each breath has a hammering effect. I end up with air in my stomach with higher cflex settings. One other note: I had to reduce the max pressure. My machine was configured to operate 5-20 cm h20. I found that range was not needed and caused lots of problems. My titrated level is 7 cm h20. I narrows my range of pressures to 6-9 cm h20.

Lately I found I have had more aerophagia issues, so I shut off my cflex and found that I had less issues with air in my stomach. Also, the vibratory snores were almost eliminated.

I hope this helps. Each person is different. Aerophagia can disrupt sleep just as much as OSA can in my opinion.

Hi. . . yes, the C-flex option is on. . . but I'm willing to try with it off and see if aerophagia gets better. I've had to spend two nights without the machine due to being very ill with my IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) kicking in from the aerophagia and stress of this. I was able to get a refill of the medicine for that and it has helped calm it down. So, I will be able to try the CPAP again.

I also read past posts about the esophageal sphincter possibly not functioning well and possibly being a contributing factor and some users have tried Zantac or anti-acid relievers. . . so maybe that's a possibility as well.

Still researching and looking for advice as to what might help. I understand how important treating this condition is.
Thanks.

My doctor said that switching to Auto-Pap helps some patients with aerophagia.

I have no aerophagia with a narrow auto range. C-Flex and A- Flex do not cause that problem for me. With the Flexes off, I have no problem. My old mahcine was not an auto and I often had aerophagia so, in my case, I think I can come to the conclusion that a narrow auto range prevents it.

That may not be the case for everyone though.
