RE: Koala1 - Moving to Resmed, aerophagia, please help with optimization
Update post about my treatment with question about aerophagia which is a problem again.
6 months ago I have settled with settings:
Pressure 8/10.2
EPR 3
Which gave me results:
Average AHI: 0.55
Average leak rate: 0.17 (I had maybe two nights with big leak, the rest is negligible)
I have to say that last year was quite good. I had less and less of brain fog and fatigue in the morning.
However therapy results and my body response change with seasons.
For example, during winter I need to use chinstrap, heated hose and humidifier.
From spring, heated hose and humidifier is not required anymore. And last year chinstrap was also not required.
This year however I cannot sleep without chinstrap anymore, because my mouth will drop open even with tape.
Another problem is that from spring I have problem with aerophagia again.
I wake up bloated after 6h of sleep, and can't sleep anymore.
I think this is main reason why from spring I am not rested anymore and why I have brain fog again.
Wedge pillow, sleeping on a side (tennis ball), collar - nothing helps.
I need to check if chin strap will help with aerophagia. (it was necessary only in winter before)
I start to wonder if I should change min pressure to lower, and check if aerophagia will be gone.
Also I have ordered V-com after reading about how it can help, but I still not received it.
