Abdominal distension refers to the swelling of the abdomen. The distension may be caused by either air (gas) or fluid collection. The accumulated substance causes an outward expansion of the stomach and waist beyond normal proportions.
It occurs when air from CPAP enters the esophagus and in to the belly, rather than the airway and in to our lungs. This can cause gas pains and distension of the stomach. It is common and can happen to anyone who uses CPAP. But when it becomes chronic, itâs a red flag, a symptom that can be overcome when the cause is properly determined.
