Aerophagia help

Post by Guest » Thu Nov 29, 2007 9:32 pm

I had a bit in the beginning of treatment but in time it subsided....well now that Im either using a FF or chin strapping my treatment is much better but oh my gosh I look pregnant all day long and have gas so much I think Im going to burst its awful...people must think Im pregnant. So anyhow Im on my APAP I have the min down to 5 and max is 13 - Im average from 8-10. So Im thinking what else can I do to help would switching to an APAP with CFLex help? a BiPap? Im not sure how much that would help if my min is 5 Im at a 5 pressure unless Im having an apnea right so how would cflex really make much of a difference. Now that Im using a FF or chin strap Im under 1 for my AHI. APparently my body had a good reason to open my mout so I would blow up like a balloon lol.

Maybe you need to lower your ramp to 4, I'm not sure but might be worth a try! Ewwww, I hope it gets better as i've been there and done that, ouch!

Last night I use my NAII no chin strap my leak rates were up and so was my AHI but I feel much better. Seems like although my treatment was better with the FF all that aerophagia and bloated feeling mustve given me fatigue because Ive been so tired even though my leak rates were down and my AHI was down. Today Im tired but not feeling like junk, bloated or like I need to take a nap or Ill pass out. Weird?
