Posted by Wayne on October 21, 1997 at 17:09:01:I'm 43, male, 6' and 190 lbs. I've been on CPAP for 4 months. More often than not, I ingest huge quantities of air during the night. Sometimes I awaken after a few hours of sleep so bloated that I must sit up and belch 3 or 4 times to expel the air in my stomach. These are looooooong belches too! You can imagine what becomes of the air that gets PAST my stomach! (I'm just tootin' around the first hour after rising.) This condition has improved somewhat since I began wearing a chin strap and athletic bite guard, but it's by no means resolved. The sleep lab doctors and techs reacted with, "Hmmm, that's unusual." Thanks, doc! Anyway, has anyone else had this problem? If so, have you found a way to reduce it?
