Thanks for sharing @dampiera, that's an interesting comparison between GERD and sleep apnea/CPAP usage. I've done some research on silent reflux and is also an interesting possible correlation. I think the irritation of the reflux can cause inflammation of airways and other things which could cause some of the breathing experience many people experience.

Yes, I thought it was interesting too! When I started waking up with air in my belly after getting a CPAP I asked my dr if it could have a long term effect on my esophageal sphincter. They told me no. So did every dr since. That has me pretty ticked off, because it is common sense!!!!
