aerophagia?

Post by sleepyWI » Wed Jan 03, 2007 7:14 am

I used my brand new CL2 (using the nasal pillows) for the first time last night. I woke up around 2 AM with a terrible stomach ache which I still have (7 AM). Could this be from aerophagia? I have not had this problem before. It seems one thing after another conspire to keep me from sleeping ............

For me the "BlowFish" (swelled cheeks) attacks before I go to sleep.Since I
tape my mouth, this is a problem. What I do, is to expel the air out my
mouth through the paper tape. Things that may help:

1) Concentrate on "parking" your tongue either on the roof of you mouth,
or on the floor of your mouth.
2) Keep the cheeks "sucked" in.
3) Sleep in a 'sprawled out" position.
