Air in tummy, painful stomach bloating and gas

The medical term for this common CPAP issue is Aerophagia. It occurs when the air delivered by your CPAP enters the esophagus and stomach rather than the lungs. It can occur when your CPAP pressure is set too low or too high. It can also occur if you are a mouth breather but not wearing a full face mask. Consult your physician if the problem is chronic and persistent.
