STOMACH FILLED WITH AIR !!
Hi All
Has anyone experienced there stomach filling with air from using c pap/bi pap i woke up this morning and my stomach was rock hard and i was in terrible pain 'this has happened before' after i had burped for what felt like hours and some pepto bismol i now feel OK. Could my machine be faulty and delivering too much air ??

This is common and should get better as you adapt to using your machine. It can be very uncomfortable. Some say Gas-X (an otc medicine).
Higher pressures often lead to this problem. How long have you been on cpap? If your pressure is high, maybe the doc would agree to lower it some to allow you time to adjust to therapy.

Hi sleepycarol,
Thanks for the comments, i looked up a link in sleep guide about trapped gas and a sleep tech said to double up your pillow and sleep with your neck in a downward 45 degree angle either on your side or on your back.
I tried this last night and it appeard to work so im gonna try that again tonight.PS I Bought a new pillow before this happened and before that i had two pillows so that could have contributed
Cheers Wayne
