Aerophagia at my ideal pressures - macaronno336 - 12-18-2024

As the title says, i have landed very close to my ideal pressures. I am on bipap and using a pressure of 16/12 seems to yield some of the best looking flow rate graphs i have. My issue is that I have horrible aerophagia at this pressure. I will eventually wake up in the middle of the night needing to burp it all out. In the early moring i wake up repeatedsly after swallowing large amounts of air. I am using a f&p nova micro mask, chinstrap and mouth tape. I do not have any leaks at night. For refrence my obstruvive apneas seem to be treated around 8-9 cm H2O. At a pressure support of 4, my ideal pressure is 16/12. If i was to move to a pressure support of 5, could this lower my epap pressure?

We'd need to see representative OSCAR charts to give good pressure edit advice.

Would you like to see zoomed in screen shots or full charts?

Start with a full one, include a zoomed one about the issue you're wanting answers about as well.
