Aerophagia and how to deal with it. - Apnea Infant - 07-07-2017
Since my therapy has been more successful I seem to have developed an unwanted side effect. Aerophagia has resulted in quite an extension of my stomach which feels uncomfortably bloated.
Reading online, it appears some medication can be taken for this.
Does anyone suffer from this uncomfortable side effect? If so, how have you dealt with it?

Same issue. My doctor says only way is to lower the pressure. I'm playing with that now by slowly working the upper limit down. We will see, I'll let you Know!
Any other advice from experienced user would be great. Can changing from Aflex1 on a DreamStation to a Cflex setting help with maintaining AHI if presssure is lowered?
Man what a learning curve this all is to master! A big fat thanks!
