aerophagia from under-the-nose nasal mask

I have been recently sleeping with Philips Respironics Dreamwear Under The Nose Nasal mask. I like it for the comfort, but I get aerophagia from this mask compared to the nasal mask I used before. I could switch back to the old nasal mask but I want to give this a chance. Should I be lowering pressu...

switched to Resmed Airsense 10 from PR Dreamstation. Feel gassier. Settings issue?

Hi, Newbie CPAP user here. I was two months in on the Dreamstation when I learned of the recall. No recall yet in my part of the world, so I got a slightly used Resmed Airsense 10 to mitigate whatever the Philips can do to my health. However, I have been feeling gassy with two nights on the Resmed. ...

Tried an O2 Ring and now I wonder if I need CPAP

Because of Philips foamgate, I experimented with stopping my CPAP use for a day and put on a Wellue O2 ring to check my oxygen drops through the night. I only had three significant drops to 90% without the machine. I wonder now if I actually need CPAP or even have serious hypopneas that require CPAP...
