Q: I just started useing a cpap but it causes me to have a lot of gas and bloating. help!

I have PPS & sleep apnea and so I have to use a c-pap. I just started useing the cpap but it causes me to have a lot of gas and bloating. I am not a big woman so my cpap is set at 6 and I sleep on my side with my head straight, elevated tilted so the air should go into my lungs not into my tummy, however, it still does. I have talked to my doc. and the c-pap co. but they had nothing more to tell me. Doc. said I have to use the cpap so if anyone has a answer or suggestion I would be most greatfull! Please Help, Thank-you,
Jeanne
