EPR Help

I raised the EPR on my machine from two to three because of excessive gassiness that I have felt in the morning, raising it has helped a lot with the gas, but I have noticed I have become much more aware of my breathing, I think this is called dyspnea. Should I raise the minimum pressure on my machine by 1 to compensate for raising the EPR by 1? I am wondering if this is what is causing the dyspnea. Thank you.

The only way you are truly going to know is by trying it.

Higher pressure can often help with Dyspnea, but it may also trigger your aerophagia.

Dyspnea is, no more or less, shortness of breath, but your awareness of having it or not is not part of its definition. Awareness is simply that, feeling a struggle to breathe.

Your min pressure is 8.2 with an EPR of 3 upon exhale it will drop to 5. Many people have said they have trouble with dyspnea below 6,
