Excessive wind
I have been using my cpap machine for about 4 years with great results reducing my apneas from 45 to an average of 0.7. However, during the time I have been using it, I have been suffering with excessive wind and was wondering wether this could be a side effect or just a coincidence and wether anyone else has experienced this.

RE: Excessive wind
Wind out your backside I assume you mean.
 Yes, it is very common and called Aerophagia. A lower pressure might help at the expense of a higher AHI. I am not familiar with other ways to address it.

RE: Excessive wind
I lowered my pressure to lesson the wind. I found a pressure that worked for me. Good luck to you.

However, during the time I have been using it, I have been suffering with excessive wind and was wondering wether this could be a side effect or just a coincidence and wether anyone else has experienced this. I had aerophagia really bad when I started. They switched me to a bi-level machine (BiPAP) and I've never looked back. Since then I've switched to an auto-adjusting bi-level machine. What some call an auto-BiPAP. Bi-level means a lower level of pressure on exhaling, which helps. Also, the auto-adjusting feature (like on an APAP, for example) allows me to spend more time at lower pressures. The lower the pressure, the less air you swallow. But you need a high enough pressure to treat the apnea. There are still days when i have a bit of excessive wind, but there's no pain associated with it so it doesn't really bother me. Just the people around me.

RE: Excessive wind
At least it is "Clean" wind... Get a hold of Rich Piana's (5% Nutrition Co.) product called "Real Food". I call it Real FARTS! You could clear a room...
But I digress.. not enough sleep as I am getting used to the CPAP.
