cpap definitely didn't cause my reflux. preexisting reflux got better after cpap. are you thinking yours is caused by cpap? I should think that's unusual but if so, it's a reminder to me we don't all experience things the same.

I previously had issues with GERD. Now that I'm on CPAP (really VAuto) my GERD has practically vanished. Good thing, because I was taking ranitidine for the GERD, and the drug been taken off the market due to contamination issues. I thought I was going to be in a lot of trouble without ranitidine, but with my more effective PAP therapy, my GERD has reduced dramatically. We are all different, but I hope with better therapy your GERD will reduce as well.
In the interim you could use a wedge pillow to prop yourself up a little. That helps with GERD. However, if you use a wedge, please also use a soft cervical collar. The wedge will probably increase positional apnea. Using a SCC will help mitigate the positional apnea. |
