anyone notice the same issues i experienced? as a severe sleep apnea, heavy mouth breather person, during the 3 weeks CPAP using, I suck in lots air from mouth, i am happy very deep sleep all night without woke up in the middle of the night but now I am dealing with severe constipations & no feel bowel signal at all, as a lift time soft stool person it's super unusual for me so i wondering could be the CPAP blowing air contribute to this results?

I've never heard of a case like that. Usually, it makes those swallowing air fart a lot.

Which model mask are you using?

Yes. This has happened to me and I have not found anyone else in the different forums who report this. Absolutely a big change and slowly slowly getting back to normal after a month, but not nearly there yet. Very strange. I also got a massive case of GERD for a week, I have never had that before, it was totally new to me. Its better now but wow I sympathize with GERD-sufferers now, its awful.
