I have COPD /mild emphysema . My fev1 is somewhere around 30%? Although I don't use oxygen . I just started using a auto set, airset 11, supposedly adjusting CPAP and immediately experienced Aphagia symptoms super bad belching and gas. I had air blowing out of my mouth making it sound like I was a balloon deflating.
I already have severe GERD from bariatric sleeve surgery and a small hiatal hernia. My doctor is forcing me to use this CPAP for 4 weeks in order to be compliant for surgery I am having a revision to gastric bypass as we've tried for almost 2 years to fix my GERD. Although my sleep apnea is considered mild. The doctor insists on having treatment. I'm so frustrated as I feel like the cure is worse than the problem right now and I can't get compliant because I can't get past all of these. Horrible side effects. Has anyone had this same issue or same type of problems. If so how did you overcome the issues? I am not usually a mouth breather at all.
