Pressures - katbrat - 09-30-2024
Hi, if a certain pressure gives you mild aerophagia but helps to better keep your airway open for exhalation is it possible that over time you can get used to that pressure? When I go up to 11 I get a mild aerophagia but it helps with exhales. At 10 when I take off the EPR the Flow Limitation goes up so leaving the EPR on helps that. But I think I need more pressure. Sleep doctor is useless in this matter.

We need to see an Oscar chart to offer good advice. Would you please post a couple of recent Oscar charts? Thanks.
Also, if EPR is helping you feel better, use it set at 3.

You can't see from Oscar that a pressure of 11 is giving me aerophagia. My real question is, is it possible that I could get used to a pressure that gives me mild aerophagia to where that doesn't happen anymore. I already know I need the higher pressure. Thanks!
Pressure question - katbrat - 10-01-2024
Hi, I’m wondering if a certain pressure gives you slight aerophagia if you would eventually get used to it?

Yes, aerophagia can subside, but it doesn't always. Aerophagia can also be correlated with actual arousals, so correcting for those can correct for aerophagia, theoretically.

An Oscar chart will show us what is happening, not just your pressure settings. We could better help you if you posted at least one.
