Hi, I have a concern about a cpap side effect. I’m a 54 year old female, have a Resmed Airsense 11 autoset and a Resmed N30i nasal mask. I’m a beginner! On Mon afternoon I tried the therapy by doing the “test drive” feature which helps gets the user acclimated. Its like a trial run! I was on the bed with some pillows behind me so I was partially elevated. I did the test run at the lowest…a 4. EPR set at a 1. Felt ok during the 20 min or so test run. After it was done I set up and felt burpy. Within a few min my stomach swelled up, was nauseated, and I threw up 30 min later. Yesterday I tried it all again. I felt ok afterwards, but two hours later stomach started swelling again. Uncomfortable!
Ive read of cpap causing bloating…but good grief I haven’t officially even started except for the trial run feature! I have a very sensitive stomach so is cpap just not for me? I was diagnosed with mild apnea, 6-7 events per hour. Help I’m very discouraged and downright anxious to even attempt therapy overnight!
