I have a mixed condition, mostly central apnea. I have tried CPAP and now trying BIPAP. I am having a terrible time! I already suffer with nighttime nasal stuffiness and have a deviated septum. Using a full facial mask just adds to this and makes me feel like I am suffocating! My central apneas have increased despite my respiratory therapist adjusting the pressures. Any one else experiencing this?
Hi, I was diagnosed with central and obstructive sleep apnea. Tried the CPAP to no avail and just started using BIPAP. Just curious if your doctor knows what causes the central event to happen. My doctor doesn't seem to interested in looking for the cause. :( I would like to know if there's an underlying cause. Maybe I worry to much.
Hi! I'm a 52 y/o female who was diagnosed last November with a mixed condition. OSA AND CSA. CPAP didn't help with my condition so now I am trying BIPAP, 2nd night. My question is about the central sleep apnea. My doctor seems unconcerned with looking further into the cause it. From all that I've read, it makes me think there's an underlying medical condition that causes central sleep apnea. Shouldn't my doctor rule out a medical condition while also treating CSA? Thoughts please.
