Default Re: Sleep Apnea Support/Questions Thread

Hi,

Sorry for asking but did you get this information some where or you are guessing its air in your stomach?
The reason I'm asking is, I didnt sleep with my machinre for a while becuase I need to go for a new test. I think the Inhale is to strong, 20.0 (the Exhale is 16.0 ) And its waking me all night. This past week I decided to go back on the machine becuase I feel very week and have a had a bad cold. So i decided I'll try it, it didnt help much, the cold is almost gone but the upset stomach symtoms got even worse. I feel like somethings wrong with my stomach. Not sure if its constipation, viral, who knows what. I eat regular and use the bathroom. But I feel very gasy. I feel like something is really going on. Could it be inhaling air? havnt used the machine for three days.

I am not going to use the machine again until I see the doc in person, sounds like I could do some damage to my colon if I continue with this. F**k.
