Me chest hurts

Post by Sleepopotamus » Sun Feb 27, 2005 9:23 am

Last night, I noticed that I get slight chest pain in the middle of my chest every once in awhile that last a second or two. Am wondering if it is related to the CPAP use, or from sleeping on my back? I don't want to get alarmed about this just yet, but would like to know if anyone else has had similar sensations.

Chest pain isn't something to second guess. But, it *might* be aerophagia (air causing gas basically)

Mikesus: That has occurred to me. I have posted here before regarding the trapped air sensation I experience in my throat.

I mentioned the trapped air sensation to the tech/therapist — per suggestions made on this board about changing air presure or going to an APAP — and she said to give it a few more weeks to adjust to the CPAP.
