Air in my stomach

I have had my cpap for 3 years now and refused to use it. I would wear it for a night or two and get frustrated and then not wear it for 6 months. Now I am determined to use it because I am just so exhausted. I finally slept for 4 hours straight with it but woke up with terrible stomach pain from swallowing so much air. Then I of courses expelled the air for the next two hours. Yuck. I have been using a chin strap to keep my mouth closed but it still happens. Please help.

Go up to the Search line and put in "aerophagia"........and also "GERD" as an alternative search.

If you've set a high pressure, you might want to try 1-2 cm less and see if it helps - as long as it doesn't interfere with your therapy otherwise.
