Well...i just started using the Bi-Pap...so my sleep study was just done. I have asked for a chin strap for my head gear so hopefully that will stop me from catching flies at night! LOL!!! Thanks for you reply!

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Adjusting the pressures may help. Also check for oxygen saturation at night with the BiPAP. Low levels can cause gasping. A repeat sleep study may help detect both. Regards.
