Hiccups

Post by Joehiccups » Thu Dec 11, 2008 12:40 pm

Has anybody got chronic hiccups from using a cpap and if so what did you do to get rid of them. I have had them for 8 days and I have tried everything. I am not sure my doctor knows what to do.

Hi, more info please - did it just start when you started Cpap, or when? Have you tried a tablespoon of peanut butter? What are your settings on what machine? What kind of mask are you using? Did you have reflux (GERD) (prior to Cpap) and/or what are you eating/drinking before bed - could be important? Are you noticing aerophagia (bloating and possible abdominal pain) since using Cpap (your pressure may need to be lowered)?
