Possible Aerophagia

[Hauko]

Hello,

I am pretty well set with my apap therpay atm at least most of the nights I think.
I am sleeping on my side rather than on my back these days which has made my ahi basically none existant most of the nights.
However I am still having the problem of a possible aerophagia because I wake up some days and I feel bloated like a mad man with constanc pain in my colon and stomach area.
I have flatualances for a couple of hourse and then I am back to normal mid day most of the time.
I am sleeping with a full face masks and basically have no leakage most nights so this propably isn't the problem.
Worst thing is I am suffering from pvc's possibly related to digestive issues and the days when I am bloated I can feel them way stronger and more freuqent.
My sleep doctor is basically 0 help sadly they just sent me away telling me there is nothing they can do.

Should I adjust pressure higher or lower?
Thinking of maybe getting a bipap machine which is suggested by most stuff I have seen

Would appreciate any input

What you describe certainly sounds like aerophagia. Because your OAs and Hs are so well controlled, you can afford to experiment with lower pressures to see whether that will help.

I'd recommend that you set max = min = 7, keeping your EPR of 3. Give it a few nights to see how it goes, then post again. (Next time you post a chart, be sure to include the left panel, which has some useful information on it.)
