It sounds like: the C-Pap is pushing air down your esophagus or it's causing air swallowing to occur.You may need to turn down to pressure.Certianly ,talk to your prescribing doctor about this .

A member asked:

Husband has severe sleep apnea but has an awful time w/CPAP masks. He's tried several. He insists that he feels more tired now than he did before he got treatment because he can't sleep w/mask. Any suggestions? At my wits end trying to help.
