A member asked:

During periods of severe stress, i swallow a lot of air in my sleep. i don't have sleep apnea. i took 2 gas x but no help. any advice?

Sleep air swallower: I think a sleep study would be in order if not already done. This will dispel any questions about the condition.. Exercise more and try to de stress your life. See if this makes a difference. Good luck!
