Aerophagia for new-ish user
I'm getting aerophagia on a daily basis and not sure how to prevent that. I'd really appreciate any advice the community can offer. I've attached my most recent sleep results. I'm using a full face mask because I've found that gives me the best night's sleep with less severe aerophagia, but the aerophagia is still a problem. Some days its worse than others but it's always present when I wake up. My pressure is set at 7-9.6. Thank you in advance for ay advice you can offer!

Aerophagia is generally pressure related. Before we start lowering min and max please increase EPR from 2 to 3. This will effectively lower pressure without compromising any therapy..
If this fails we will decrease your pressure settings slowly.

Aerophagia is generally pressure related. Before we (temporarily) reduce your settings try setting EPR =3 which will effectively lower your pressure without compromising your therapy.

It seems like changing the EPR from 2 to 3 worked. Thank you for the advice. Why do you say that this fix is temporary though?

RE: Aerophagia for new-ish user
I said before we lower your pressure settings. That would be intended to be temporary under 5he assumption that you were at optimum settings.P0
