My second sleep study

Post by MikeyB » Sat Oct 23, 2010 8:50 am

Over the last few months I have put some weight on, so they ordered another sleepstudy, they called me other day with results, first off it was a split study, apparently I stop breathing 45 times and hour and they could not find my titration pressure that night so I have to go again other problem is recently seems like I am swallowing ait with my mask giving me some very uncomfortable feeling in my chest and burbing, would bi-pap or autopap help with this, do I need to say something to the Dr about this.

Definitely say something to the doctor about that. An APAP and a BIPAP have been know to help people with that problem (it called insufflation or aerophagia).
