I noticed an increase of stomach air when I began using my CPAP machine. Over time, that diminished. Then, after my hysterectomy, it returned with a vengeance and hasn't decreased. Is there a correlation? I thought so, at first. Turns out, I had accidentally increased the pressure and hadn't noticed. Go figure. As it happens, one of the causes of increased belching and flatulence is a pressure setting that is too high.
That's an easy enough fix, and it did help enormously!
Even so, the topic of CPAP gas can be bigger than simply adjusting the air pressure setting on your machine.
- Burping or belching
- Flatulence
- Bloating
- Stomach pain
While none of these symptoms are life-threatening, they can be pretty embarrassing. If reducing the air pressure setting doesn't help, you may want to try a full face mask rather than the cute nose option.
