Now what do I do?

Posted by kettlebell on August 30, 2007 at 06:25:51:

I recently had a tonsillectomy with the idea to remove some of the excess tissue and improve my breathing. Since recovering from the surgery I have gone back to using my APAP but now I find I am swallowing a lot more air than I did before. This is making it almost impossible to sleep because air keeps wanting to come up from my stomach. Do I just need to work through this, or has the surgery made me unable to use a nasal mask?
