Hello,


I had my 2nd sleep study done with the nsal cpap and pressure that according to the report was 6 cm of water. It states that it was effective in eliminating sleep disorder respiration.
The problem I have was I was diagnosed with only central sleep apnea where I had 106 central sleep apneas the first time. The longest 18 seconds. The central sleep index was 20.6. There were only 5 obstructive sleep apneas in the 5+ hours I slept. 66 hypopneas
This is where it's confusing. The tech said I was sleeping like a baby for 4 and a half hours with the mask on and on my side. I changed positions for next 1 and a half hour and slept on back due to coming back from bathroom. The tech girl stated my central apneas started to read occur rapidly and and said I may have to come back.
My problem now is the pulmonolgist said that everything was alright and that he didn't see any central apneas and gave me a prescription for a cpap at a 6 water. When I called to price one two company reps said the cpap wouldn't work with my condition. According to sleep apnea wikipedia cpap don't work on central sleep apnea. The doctor reading my report did say that an auto pap device may prove more prudent. The prescription that this pulmonogist gave me says CPAP 6 and then he put dx OSA. That don't make sense since I don't have obstructive. Was this a mis diagose because I am confused. Thanks Tony
